Question 65

Polly suspects that a die is biased. The probability of the die landing on 6 is believed to be 0.4, and Polly thinks this probability has changed. The die is to be rolled 20 times, and X X\,X is the number of sixes obtained.

a.

Write down the hypotheses Polly should use.

[1]
b.

Using a 10% significance level, find the critical region for a two-tailed test, with a probability of at most 0.05 in each tail.

[3]
c.

Find the actual significance level of a test based on this critical region.

[1]
d.

Polly rolls the die 20 times and obtains 11 sixes. Comment on Polly's suspicion.
