A fair die, with its faces numbered from 1 to 6, is one in which each number is equally likely to land face up when the die is rolled. On a fair die, the probability that the number 6 will land face up is 16. A group of students wanted to investigate a claim about manipulating a fair die so that it favors one outcome. The claim states that if a fair die is put into an oven and baked at 200°F for 10 minutes, the inside of the die will begin to melt. When the die cools, the inside will be solid again, but with more weight toward the bottom. This shift in weight will cause the face that was up when the die cooled to land up more often that the other faces.

The students obtained a fair die and baked it according to the preceding directions. The die cooled with the number 6 face up. After the die cooled, they rolled the die 200 times, and the number 6 landed face up 43 times. Let p represent the population proportion of times the number 6 will land face up on the baked die if the die could be rolled an infinite number of times.

(a) Clarke, one of the students, constructed a 95 percent confidence interval for p as 0.215±0.057. Does the interval provide convincing statistical evidence that the number 6 will land face up more often on the baked die than on a fair die? Explain your reasoning.

The upcoming championship high school football game is a big deal in your little town. the problem is, it is being played in the next biggest town, which is two hours away! to get as many people as you can to attend the game, you decide to come up with a ride-sharing app, but you want to be sure it will be used before you put all the time in to creating it. you determine that if more than three students share a ride, on average, you will create the app. you conduct simple random sampling of 20 students in a school with a population of 300 students to determine how many students are in each ride-share (carpool) on the way to school every day to get a good idea of who would use the app. the following data are collected: 6 5 5 5 3 2 3 6 2 2 5 4 3 3 4 2 5 3 4 5 construct a 95% confidence interval for the mean number of students who share a ride to school, and interpret the results. part a: state the parameter and check the conditions. part b: construct the confidence interval. be sure to show all your work, including the degrees of freedom, critical value, sample statistics, and an explanation of your process. part c: interpret the meaning of the confidence interval. part d: use your findings to explain whether you should develop the ride-share app for the football game.
