4. What decision would you make? Fail to reject the null hypothesis or Reject the null hypothesis

5. What can the researcher conclude? Let’s say in the above example that the BC average on the sports trivia test was 52 resulting in a z score of +2.0. What decision would the researcher make? Fail to reject the null hypothesis? or reject the null hypothesis?

At carnivals and entertainment parks, there is a popular game of horse-racing. Each player has a movable horse on the display whose number corresponds to his or her alley number. The game consists of rolling a ball up an alley, where it can land in one of 15 holes. The holes are colored according to the graphic in the margin. If your ball lands in a red hole, your horse advances one space. If it lands in yellow, your horse advances two spaces, and if it lands in green, your horse gallops ahead three spaces. After your ball goes in the hole, it returns to you for your next roll. The first horse that moves 12 spaces is the winner, and the jockey, the person rolling the ball, receives a stuffed animal as a prize. One customer is at the game, bragging that he always wins after eight rolls. You look over the game and estimate that you have a 40% chance of getting the ball in a red hole, a 30% chance of getting it in a yellow hole, and a 20% chance of getting it in a green hole. There is also a 10% chance that you miss the holes, and your ball returns to you without advancing the horse. Based on your estimates of the probabilities, is it worthwhile to play the game against the bragging customer? What is the chance you will win by the eighth roll? EXCEL SHEET formulas!
