Question
A balanced die with 4​ sides, numbered 1 through 4​,
is rolled 40 times.
 
a. For the binomial distribution of X=number of 4​s, what is n and what is​ p?
b. Find the mean and the standard deviation of the distribution of X. Interpret.
c. If you observe x=​0, would you be skeptical that the die is​ balanced? Explain​ why, based on the mean and standard deviation of X.
d. Find the probability that x=0.
 
a. n=
​(Type an integer or decimal. Do not​ round.)
p=
​(Round to three decimal places as​ needed.)
b. μ=
​(Round to three decimal places as​ needed.)
σ=
​(Round to two decimal places as​ needed.)
 
What information is given by the mean and standard​ deviation?
A. Since the sample size is sufficiently​ large, the distribution is approximately normal and nearly all observations fall within μ−3σ and μ+3σ.
 
B. Since the sample size is sufficiently​ large, the distribution is approximately normal and nearly all observations are less than μ−3σ or greater than μ+3σ.
 
C. Since the sample size is sufficiently​ large, the distribution is binomial and nearly all observations fall within μ−3σ
and μ+3σ.
 
D. These values do not give any information about the data.
 
c. If you observe x=​0, would you be skeptical that the die is​ balanced?
 
A. ​Yes, because 0 is over two standard deviations from the mean.
 
B. No, because 0 is within three standard deviations of the mean.
 
C. ​No, because 0 is within two standard deviations of the mean.
 
D. Yes, because 0 is over three standard deviations from the mean.
d. The probability that x=0 is?
​(Round to seven decimal places as​ needed.)
