2. Suppose that we have a 6-sided die. We assume that the die is unbiased (upon rolling the die,
each outcome is equally likely). An experiment is conducted in which the die is rolled 240 times.
The outcomes are in the table below. At a significance level of 𝛼𝛼 = 0.05, is there enough evidence
to support the hypothesis that the die is unbiased? (7 items x 3 points)
Outcome 1 2 3 4 5 6
Frequency 34 44 30 46 51 35
a. The null hypothesis 𝐻𝐻0 : Each face is equally likely to be the outcome of single roll.
b. The alternative hypothesis 𝐻𝐻𝑎𝑎 : the null hypothesis is false.
c. The level of significance 𝛼𝛼 = 0.05
d. The degrees of freedom: k – 1 = 6
6 -1 = 5
e. The test statistic:

6 240/6= 40 35 -5 25 0.625
f. The critical value: 0.01 and k-1, the critical value is 15.086
g. Decision: Since x2 8.35 < 15.086, I fail to reject the null hypothesis, that the
dies is fair.

3. The side effects of a new drug are being tested against a placebo. A simple random
sample of 565 patients yields the results below. At a significance level of 𝛼 = 0.10, is
there enough evidence to conclude that the treatment is independent of the side effect of
nausea?
