We have all probably played games like monopoly or yahtzee that use standard six sided dice. what does it mean for dice to be fair? a fair six-sided die is defined as a die that will have each of the 6 faces of the die come up one-sixth of the time in the long run. a loaded six-sided die is defined as a die that has one face of the die that comes up more often than one-sixth of the time in the long run. an avid yahtzee player wants to know whether or not his lucky die is loaded so that 6's appear more often than any other number. he throws his lucky die 85 times and noted that he rolled a "six" on 25 of those rolls. what are the hypothesis and conclusion for this experiment?
