Given Information

The test to use to determine if a six-sided die is fair is a goodness-of-fit test.

02

Explanation

Let's tossed a dice first.

The probability of each face should be equal to 16.

If a researcher will toss the die 36 times, then the observed number of times each face landed on top to the expected numbers.

Therefore the expected numbers would be 16of the total number of tosses.

Hence, the statement is true.

A company packages apples by weight. One of the weight grades is Class Aapples. Class Aapples have a mean weight of 150g, and there is a maximum allowed weight tolerance of 5%above or below the mean for apples in the same consumer package. A batch of apples is selected to be included in a ClassAapple package. Given the following apple weights of the batch, does the fruit comply with the Class Agrade weight tolerance requirements. Conduct an appropriate hypothesis test.

(a) at the 5%significance level

(b) at the 1%significance level Weights in selected apple batch (in grams): 158; 167; 149; 169;164; 139; 154; 150; 157 ; 171; 152; 161 ; 141; 166; 172;
