Yahtzee (5.3,6.3)In the game of Yahtzee, 5six-sided dice are rolled simultaneously. To get a Yahtzee, the player must get the same number on all 5dice.

(a) Luis says that the probability of getting a Yahtzee in one roll of the dice is 165. Explain why Luis is wrong.

(b) Nassir decides to keep rolling all 5 dice until he gets a Yahtzee. He is surprised when he still hasn’t gotten a Yahtzee after25rolls. Should he be? Calculate an appropriate probability to support your answer .

Short Answer

Expert verified

a). The probability of getting a Yahtzee is :

(Yahtzee)=6×165

b). The probability is 0.9808.

Step by step solution

01

Part (a) Step 1: Given Information

5 six sides dice have been rolled simultaneously.

To obtain Yahtzee, all 5 dice must have same numbers.

According to Luis, the probability of getting a Yahtzee is 165.

02

Part (a) Step 2: Explanation

The following numbers could be obtained by players 1,2,3,4,5and 6.

Here all the dice are independent.

Thus, the probability of getting a Yahtzee is calculated as:

P(Yahtzee)=6×165

03

Part (b) Step 1: Given Information

5six sides dice have been rolled simultaneously.

To obtain Yahtzee, all 5dice must have same numbers.

According to Luis, the probability of getting a Yahtzee is localid="1650542498223" 165.

04

Part (b) Step 2: Explanation

From above part, it is known that

P(Yahtzee)=6×165=0.0007716

P(No Yahtzee)=1-6×165=0.9992284

The probability of not getting Yahtzee even after 25rolls is computed as:

localid="1650622029853" P(No Yahtzee)25=(0.9992254)25=0.9809=98.09%

Since, the probability is above 0.05. Thus, it could be concluded that the probability of not getting Yahtzee is likely. Thus, Nasir should not be surprised.

Which hypotheses would be appropriate for performing a chi-square test?

(a) The null hypothesis is that the closer students get to graduation, the less likely they are to be opposed to tuition increases. The alternative is that how close students are to graduation makes no difference in their opinion.

(b) The null hypothesis is that the mean number of students who are strongly opposed is the same for each of the four years. The alternative is that the mean is different for at least two of the four years.

(c) The null hypothesis is that the distribution of student opinion about the proposed tuition increase is the same for each of the four years at this university. The alternative is that the distribution is different for at least two of the four years.

(d) The null hypothesis is that year in school and student opinion about the tuition increase in the sample are independent. The alternative is that these variables are dependent.

(e) The null hypothesis is that there is an association between a year in school and opinion about the tuition increase at this university. The alternative hypothesis is that these variables are not associated.
