1. ## Testing Hypothesis

The following table gives the observed and expected frequencies in tossing a dice 120 times. For testing the hypothesis that the dice is fair , one is required to compute $\chi^2$
Find the value.

$
\begin{array}{|c|c|c|c|c|c|c|c|}
Dice\ face&1&2&3&4&5&6\\
\hline
Observed\ frequency&25&17&15&23&24&16\\
\end{array}

First compute the expected frequencies under the hypothesis

$
\begin{array}{|c|c|c|c|c|c|c|c|}
\hline
Dice\ face&1&2&3&4&5&6\\
\hline
Observed\ frequency&25&17&15&23&24&16\\
\hline
Expected\ frequency&20&20&20&20&20&20\\
\hline
\end{array}

$

Now look up the $\chi ^2$ test equations.

Hw did u get Expected frequency as 20

isnt E[x] = x f(x) = 7/2

There are 120 throws and 6 equally likely outcomes, hence the expected frequency of each outcome is 120/6=20.
This is the expected number of 1, 2, .. 6's in 120 throws.
