Answer:

c. Not significant at .055

Explanation:

When a pair of dice is rolled, we have 6²=36 possible outcomes. Only 2 of these outcomes have a total score of 11:

  1. When the first dice is 5 and the second is 6.
  2. When the first dice is 6 and the second is 5.

Then, we can calculate the probability of getting 11 as the quotient between the successs outcomes and the total outcomes.

Then, the probability of getting 11 is:


P=(X)/(N)=(2)/(36)=0.055

This probability is not equal or less than 0.05, so it is not significant at 0.055.
