- You are provided with data that includes all 50 states of the United States. Your task is to draw a sample of: 20 States using Random Sampling (2 points: 1 for random number generation; 1 for random sample) 10 States using Systematic Sampling (4 points: 1 for random numbers generation; 1 for generating random sample different from the previous answer; 1 for correct K value calculation table; 1 for correct sample drawn by using systematic sampling) (For systematic sampling, do not use the original data directly. Instead, first randomize the data, and then use the randomized dataset to draw your sample. Furthermore, do not use the random list previously generated, instead, generate a new random sample for this part. For more details, please see the snapshot provided at the end.)

During the game players may face something called a "skill check" where they must roll a 20-sided die and get a result equal to or above a given value. For example, a player may be required to roll a 15 or above in order to succeed and pass the skill check. Rolling a 14 or lower would be a failure. If the player rolls the die 10 times in a row, what is the expected number of rolls that would pass the skill check by rolling as a 15 or higher? For the previous calculations, what is the standard deviation for the number of times the die would be rolled 15 or above During a game of Dungeons and Dragons, the previously-mentioned player rolls the 20-sided die 30 times in total. What is the probablity that they successfully roll a 15 or higher exactly 7 times during that game? Express your final answer as a percentage to 2 decimal places.arrow_forward
