Question 38

The probability of a biased die landing on 6 is 0.4. Polly suspects that the probability of the die landing on 6 is not 0.4.

The die was rolled 20 times and landed on 6 eleven times.

The critical region for a two-tailed test of Polly's suspicion is X≤3 X \leq 3\,X≤3 and X≥13X \geq 13X≥13.
