Use root test to determine the series is convergent/divergent or inconclusive

You can first condense the series to make it simpler to study. If <em>n</em> is odd, then <em>n</em> = 2<em>k</em> - 1, and if <em>n</em> is even, then <em>n</em> = 2<em>k</em> for some <em>k</em> ≥ 1. So for each <em>k</em>, you can pair up the <em>k</em>-th terms of the odd- and even-indexed series.

odd:

\dfrac1{3^{\frac{n+3}2}}=\dfrac1{3^{k+1}}

even:

\dfrac1{3^{\frac n2}}=\dfrac1{3^k}

So the series can be re-indexed as

\displaystyle\sum_{n=1}^\infty a_n=\sum_{k=1}^\infty a_k=\sum_{k=1}^\infty \left(\frac1{3^{k+1}}+\frac1{3^k}\right)=\sum_{k=1}^\infty\frac4{3^{k+1}}

By the root test, the series converges, since

\displaystyle\lim_{k\to\infty}\sqrt[k]{\left|\frac4{3^{k+1}}\right|}=\frac13\lim_{k\to\infty}\left(\frac43\right)^{\frac1k}=\frac13

The author drilled a hole in a die and filled it with a lead​ weight, then proceeded to roll it 199 times. Here are the observed
Anton [14]

Answer with explanation:

An Unbiased Dice is Rolled 199 times.

Frequency of outcomes 1,2,3,4,5,6 are=28​, 29​, 47​, 40​, 22​, 33.

Probability of an Event

      =\frac{\text{Total favorable Outcome}}{\text{Total Possible Outcome}}\\\\P(1)=\frac{28}{199}\\\\P(2)=\frac{29}{199}\\\\P(3)=\frac{47}{199}\\\\P(4)=\frac{40}{199}\\\\P(5)=\frac{22}{199}\\\\P(6)=\frac{33}{199}\\\\\text{Dice is fair}\\\\P(1,2,3,4,5,6}=\frac{33}{199}

→→→To check whether the result are significant or not , we will calculate standard error(e) and then z value

1.

(e_{1})^2=(P_{1})^2+(P'_{1})^2\\\\(e_{1})^2=[\frac{28}{199}]^2+[\frac{33}{199}]^2\\\\(e_{1})^2=\frac{1873}{39601}\\\\(e_{1})^2=0.0472967\\\\e_{1}=0.217478\\\\z_{1}=\frac{P'_{1}-P_{1}}{e_{1}}\\\\z_{1}=\frac{\frac{33}{199}-\frac{28}{199}}{0.217478}\\\\z_{1}=\frac{5}{43.27}\\\\z_{1}=0.12

→→If the value of z is between 2 and 3 , then the result will be significant at 5% level of Significance.Here value of z is very less, so the result is not significant.

2.

(e_{2})^2=(P_{2})^2+(P'_{2})^2\\\\(e_{2})^2=[\frac{29}{199}]^2+[\frac{33}{199}]^2\\\\(e_{2})^2=\frac{1930}{39601}\\\\(e_{2})^2=0.04873\\\\e_{2}=0.2207\\\\z_{2}=\frac{P'_{2}-P_{2}}{e_{2}}\\\\z_{2}=\frac{\frac{33}{199}-\frac{29}{199}}{0.2207}\\\\z_{2}=\frac{4}{43.9193}\\\\z_{2}=0.0911

Result is not significant.

3.

(e_{3})^2=(P_{3})^2+(P'_{3})^2\\\\(e_{3})^2=[\frac{47}{199}]^2+[\frac{33}{199}]^2\\\\(e_{3})^2=\frac{3298}{39601}\\\\(e_{3})^2=0.08328\\\\e_{3}=0.2885\\\\z_{3}=\frac{P_{3}-P'_{3}}{e_{3}}\\\\z_{3}=\frac{\frac{47}{199}-\frac{33}{199}}{0.2885}\\\\z_{3}=\frac{14}{57.4279}\\\\z_{3}=0.24378

Result is not significant.

4.

(e_{4})^2=(P_{4})^2+(P'_{4})^2\\\\(e_{4})^2=[\frac{40}{199}]^2+[\frac{33}{199}]^2\\\\(e_{4})^2=\frac{3298}{39601}\\\\(e_{4})^2=0.06790\\\\e_{4}=0.2605\\\\z_{4}=\frac{P_{4}-P'_{4}}{e_{4}}\\\\z_{4}=\frac{\frac{40}{199}-\frac{33}{199}}{0.2605}\\\\z_{4}=\frac{7}{51.8555}\\\\z_{4}=0.1349

Result is not significant.

5.

(e_{5})^2=(P_{5})^2+(P'_{5})^2\\\\(e_{5})^2=[\frac{22}{199}]^2+[\frac{33}{199}]^2\\\\(e_{5})^2=\frac{1573}{39601}\\\\(e_{5})^2=0.03972\\\\e_{5}=0.1993\\\\z_{5}=\frac{P'_{5}-P_{5}}{e_{5}}\\\\z_{5}=\frac{\frac{33}{199}-\frac{22}{199}}{0.1993}\\\\z_{5}=\frac{11}{39.6610}\\\\z_{5}=0.2773

Result is not significant.

6.

(e_{6})^2=(P_{6})^2+(P'_{6})^2\\\\(e_{6})^2=[\frac{33}{199}]^2+[\frac{33}{199}]^2\\\\(e_{6})^2=\frac{2178}{39601}\\\\(e_{6})^2=0.05499\\\\e_{6}=0.2345\\\\z_{6}=\frac{P'_{6}-P_{6}}{e_{6}}\\\\z_{6}=\frac{\frac{33}{199}-\frac{33}{199}}{0.2345}\\\\z_{6}=\frac{0}{46.6655}\\\\z_{6}=0

Result is not significant.

⇒If you will calculate the mean of all six z values, you will obtain that, z value is less than 2.So, we can say that ,outcomes are not equally likely at a 0.05 significance level.

⇒⇒Yes , as Probability of most of the numbers that is, 1,2,3,4,5,6 are different, for a loaded die , it should be equal to approximately equal to 33 for each of the numbers from 1 to 6.So, we can say with certainty that loaded die behaves differently than a fair​ die.
