strong evidence that the gambler’s claim is true? a. Specify the null and alternative hypothesis for this problem. p = probability gambler guess correctly for an individual roll null (Ho): p = 1/6 alternative (Ha): p > 1/6 b. Find the test statistic and calculate the p-value. What do you conclude? pˆ = 0.2 so z = (0.2-0.1667)/ .1667(.8333) /100 = 0.894. From the table the p-value is between 18% and 19%. The null hypothesis is a reasonable explanation of this data so we do not have strong evidence
