Answer:

The number of rolls = 36

Step-by-step explanation:

Thinking process:

A die has six sides (6).

Thus, the probability of striking a 6 is $\frac{1}{6}$

Let the number or sixes be 2

The number of roles for the die is given the following: $(6)^{n}$ where n is the number of sixes needed.

Therefore, the number of roles needed = $(6)^{2} = 36$

Using the z-distribution and the formula for the margin of error, it is found that:

a) A sample size of 54 is needed.

b) A sample size of 752 is needed.

In a sample with a number n of people surveyed with a probability of a success of $\pi$ , and a confidence level of $\alpha$ , we have the following confidence interval of proportions.

$\pi \pm z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}$

In which z is the z-score that has a p-value of $\frac{1+\alpha}{2}$ .

The margin of error is of:

$M = z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}$

90% confidence level, hence $\alpha = 0.9$ , z is the value of Z that has a p-value of $\frac{1+0.9}{2} = 0.95$ , so $z = 1.645$ .

Item a:

The estimate is $\pi = 0.213 - 0.195 = 0.018$ .

The sample size is <u>n for which M = 0.03</u>, hence:

$M = z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}$

$0.03 = 1.645\sqrt{\frac{0.018(0.982)}{n}}$

$0.03\sqrt{n} = 1.645\sqrt{0.018(0.982)}$

$\sqrt{n} = \frac{1.645\sqrt{0.018(0.982)}}{0.03}$

$(\sqrt{n})^2 = \left(\frac{1.645\sqrt{0.018(0.982)}}{0.03}\right)^2$

$n = 53.1$

Rounding up, a sample size of 54 is needed.

Item b:

No prior estimate, hence $\pi = 0.05$

$M = z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}$

$0.03 = 1.645\sqrt{\frac{0.5(0.5)}{n}}$

$0.03\sqrt{n} = 1.645\sqrt{0.5(0.5)}$

$\sqrt{n} = \frac{1.645\sqrt{0.5(0.5)}}{0.03}$

$(\sqrt{n})^2 = \left(\frac{1.645\sqrt{0.5(0.5)}}{0.03}\right)^2$

$n = 751.7$

Rounding up, a sample of 752 should be taken.
