1. (8 pts total) Assume that a single fair die is tossed 100 times. Let X denote the number obtained in a given toss (so X is 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6). Suppose that x = 2.83 for these 100 tosses. It can be shown that µ = 3.5 and σ =35/12 = 2.91666 . . . (a) (7 pts) Find a 95% confidence interval for µ, based on the given value of x. (b)(1 pt) Did the interval you constructed trap the true mean µ? (should get 2.83±0.572 for part a)

Answer #1

(A) z critical for 95% interval is z = 1.96 (using z table)

population standard deviation

sample mean

sample size n = 100

confidence interval =

(B) Confidence interval obtained in first part is

CI = (2.258, 3.402)

Population mean 3.5 is not included in the confidence interval as the upper limit of confidence interval is below the population mean.

Q1. Let p denote the probability that the coin will turn up as a Head when tossed. Given n independent tosses of the same coin, what is the probability distribution associated with the number of Head outcomes observed? Q2. Suppose you have information that a coin in your possession is not a fair coin, and further that either Pr(Head|p) = p is certain to be equal to either p = 0.33 or p = 0.66. Assuming you believe this information,...

Think about the following game: A fair coin is tossed 10 times. Each time the toss results in heads, you receive $10; for tails, you get nothing. What is the maximum amount you would pay to play the game? Define a success as a toss that lands on heads. Then the probability of a success is 0.5, and the expected number of successes after 10 tosses is 10(0.5) = 5. Since each success pays $10, the total amount you would...
