Chapter 8, Problem 96CRE

A friend claims he can predict how a six-sided die will land. The parameter, $p\text{,}$ is the long-run likelihood of success, and the null hypothesis is that the friend is guessing.

a. Pick the correct null hypothesis.

i. $p=1\text{/}6$

ii. $p>1\text{/}6$

iii. $p<1/6$

iv. $p>1\text{/}2$

b. Which hypothesis best fits the friend’s claim? (This is the alternative hypothesis.)

i. $p=1\text{/}6$

ii. $p>1\text{/}6$

iii. $p<1\text{/}6$

iv. $p>1\text{/}2$
