A die is rolled 120 times to see if it is fair. The table below shows the outcomes. Face Value 1 2 3 4 5 6 Observed Frequency 15 18 26 20 14 27 What can be concluded using a level of significance of 0.05?
H0: The distribution is uniform.
H1: The distribution is not uniform.
p-Value =
Conclusion: There is insufficient or There is evidence
Answer:
Given that:
A die is rolled 120 times to see if it is fair. The table below shows the outcomes.
Face Value 1 2 3 4 5 6
Observed Frequency 15 18 26 20 14 27
Chi square test for Goodness of fit
expected frequncy,E = expected proportions*total frequency
expected frequncy,E=1/6 *120
expected frequncy,E = 20
total frequency= 120
observed frequencey, O | expected frequency,E | (O-E)^2/E |
15 | 20.00 | 1.250 |
18 | 20.00 | 0.200 |
26 | 20.00 | 1.800 |
20 | 20.00 | 0.000 |
14 | 20.00 | 1.800 |
27 | 20.00 | 2.450 |

level of significance,
= 0.05
Degree of freedom=k-1
Degree of freedom = 6 -1
Degree of freedom = 5
P value = 0.1860 [ excel function: =chisq.dist.rt(test-stat,df)
]
Decision:
P value >α , Do not reject Ho
conclusion: there is not enough evidence to conclude that
distributon is not uniform
