Question
Suppose an 8 sided die is tossed 300 times. Suppose that it is estimated that the probability of tossing a 6 is 0.21. Use this information to answer the following questions.
a) What is the mean of the sampling distribution of the proportion of samples of size 300 tosses of this die?
b) What is the standard deviation of the sampling distribution of the proportion of sixes samples of size 300 tosses of this die?
c) How is the sampling distribution of the proportion of sixes of size 300 tosses of this die distributed?
d)Find the probability that the proportion of sixes when this die is rolled 300 times is between 0.197 and 0.215.

- Brads's hummingbird (Selasphorus sasin) has been studied by zoologist Bill Alther.† Suppose a small group of 15 Brad's hummingbirds has been under study in Arizona. The average weight for these birds is x = 3.15 grams. Based on previous studies, we can assume that the weights of Brads's hummingbirds have a normal distribution, with ? = 0.22 gram. a) Find the sample size necessary for an 80% confidence level with a maximal margin of error E = 0.12 for the mean weights of the hummingbirds.
