Answer:
n=206
Step-by-step explanation:
Previous concepts
A confidence interval is "a range of values that’s likely to include a population value with a certain degree of confidence. It is often expressed a % whereby a population means lies between an upper and lower interval".
The margin of error is the range of values below and above the sample statistic in a confidence interval.
Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".
The population proportion have the following distribution
Solution to the problem
In order to find the critical value we need to take in count that we are finding the interval for a proportion, so on this case we need to use the z distribution. Since our interval is at 99% of confidence, our significance level would be given by
and
. And the critical value would be given by:
The margin of error for the proportion interval is given by this formula:
(a)
And on this case we have that
, we can use as prior estimate of p 0.5, since we don't have any other info provided, and we are interested in order to find the value of n, if we solve n from equation (a) we got:
(b)
And replacing into equation (b) the values from part a we got:
And rounded up we have that n=206

To get the 0.12 to repeat, the trick is to subtract 1 from the denominator

Then reduce the fraction.

now add the 3 to get

Answer:
The game is not fair
Step-by-step explanation:
Let us find the sample space. It is the sum of the two spins
1+1 1+2 1+3 1+4
2+1 2+2 2+3 2+4
3+1 3+2 3+3 3+4
4+1 4+2 4+3 4+4
Adding
2,3,4,5
3,4,5,6
4,5,6,7
5,6,7,8
P(2) = 1/16
p(3) = 2/16
p(4) = 3/16
p(5) = 4/16
p(6) = 3/16
p(7) = 2/16
p(8) = 1/16
Player A gets a point if the sum is 6 or more
P (6,7,8) = P (6) + P(7) + P(8) since they are independent event
=( 3+2+1) /16 = 6/16 = 3/8
Player P gets a point if the sum is less than 6
P (2,3,4,5) =P (2) + P(3) + P(4 + P(5)
(1+2+3+4)/16 = 10/16= 5/8
Player B has a better chance of winning, so the game is not fair
