Suppose that an honest die is rolled n=180 times. Let the random variable X represent the number of times the number 6 is rolled. (a) Find the mean and standard deviation for the distribution of X. (Hint: Use the dishonest-coin principle with p=1/6 to find
and
.) (b) Find the probability that a 6 will be rolled more than 40 times. (c) Find the probability that a 6 will be rolled somewhere between 30 and 35 times.
Solution
VerifiedStep 1
1 of 2
