Fresno Board Games manufactures and sells several different board games online and through department stores nationwide. Fresno’s most popular game, ¡Cabestrillo Cinco!, is played with 5 six-sided dice. Fresno has purchased dice for this game from Box Cars, Ltd., for twenty-five years, but the company is now considering a move to Big Boss Gaming, Inc. (BBG), a new supplier that has offered to sell dice to Fresno at a substantially lower price. Fresno management is intrigued by the potential savings offered by BBG, but is also concerned about the quality of the dice produced by the new supplier. Fresno has a reputation for high integrity, and its management feels that it is imperative that the dice included with ¡Cabestrillo Cinco! are fair.
To alleviate concerns about the quality of the dice it produces, BBG allows Fresno’s manager of product quality to randomly sample five dice from its most recent production run. While being observed by several members of the BBG management team, Fresno’s manager of product quality rolls each of these five randomly selected dice 500 times and records each outcome. The results for each of these five randomly selected dice are available in the file BBG.
Fresno management now wants to use these data to assess whether any of these five six-sided dice is not fair; that is, does one outcome occur more frequently or less frequently than the other outcomes?
Managerial Report
Prepare a managerial report that addresses the following issues.
- 1. Use
descriptive statistics to summarize the data collected by Fresno’s manager of product quality for each of the five randomly selected dice. Based on these descriptive statistics, what are your preliminary conclusions about the fairness of the five selected dice? - 2. Use the data collected by Fresno’s manager of product quality to test the hypothesis that the first of the five randomly selected dice is fair, i.e., the distribution of outcomes for the first of the five randomly selected dice is multinomial with p1 = p2 = p3 = p4 = p5 = p6 = 1/6. Repeat this process for each of the other four randomly selected dice. Use α = .01. Do the results of your hypothesis tests provide evidence that BBG is producing unfair dice?

- An angler fishes half of their time at East Delaney Lake, one quarter of their time at South Delaney Lake, and one quarter of their time at North Delaney Lake. Each lake has only two types of trout, brown trout and cutthroat trout. In East Delaney Lake, 6% of the trout are brown trout. In South Delaney Lake 64% of the trout are brown trout. In North Delaney Lake 69% of the trout are brown trout. Assume that any individual trout fish has the same chance of being caught by an angler spending time at that lake. Given that the angler caught a brown trout, what is the conditional probability that they caught the trout on North Delaney Lake? Use three decimal place accuracy.arrow_forward5) A popular game company, Sega, is well known for games involving a character called Sonic the hedgehog.

- Perry’s Garden Center sells three brands of riding mowers—Ranger, Turfmaster, and Colt. Fifty percent of the riding mowers they sell are Rangers, thirty five percent Turfmasters, and fifteen percent Colts. Each brand of mower comes with a one-year parts and labor warranty. Based on their records, Perry knows that the chance of a warranty claim is five percent for the Ranger, 15% for the Turfmaster, and 25% for the Colt. If Perry’s service manager tells him that a riding mower has just been brought in for a repair covered by the warranty, a. What is the chance that the riding mower is a Colt? b.

- Part 1: Should We Convict? A woman who was shopping in Los Angeles had her purse stolen by a young, blonde female who was wearing a ponytail. The blonde female got into a yellow car that was driven by a white male who had a mustache and a beard. The police located the blonde female named Janet Collins who wore her hair in a ponytail and had a friend who was a white male who had a mustache and beard and also drove a yellow car. The police arrested the two subjects. Because there were no eyewitnesses and no real evidence, the prosecution used probability to make its case against the defendants. The probabilities below were presented by the prosecution for the known characteristics of the thieves.
