When a single die is rolled, the probability of a one is 1/6, or 0.167. Lets simulate
Question:
When a single die is rolled, the probability of a “one” is 1/6, or 0.167. Let’s simulate 3000 rolls of a die. (Note: A Bernoulli experiment is like a “single”
trial binomial experiment. That is, one roll of a die is one Bernoulli experiment with p 1/6;
and 3000 rolls of a die either is a binomial experiment with n 3000 or is 3000 Bernoulli experiments.
Code: 0 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6, and 1 1. The sum of the 1s will be the number of ones in the 3000 tosses.)
a. Use the commands given in Exercise 9.83 and a calculator or computer to simulate the rolling of a single die 3000 times.
Using the results from the simulation:
b. Sum the data and divide by 3000. Explain what this value represents.
c. Determine the standard error of proportion.
d. Determine the 95% confidence interval for p P(one).
e. How do the results from the simulation compare with your expectations? Explain.
