Q2. A person decides to throw a pair of dice until he gets 2 sixes. What is the expected number of throws until he stops?

Q3. A transistor manufacturer claims its product has 10% defectives. A sample of 15 transistors is examined and 3 are found to be defective. Would you reject their claim with alpha <= 0.05?

Q4. An experiment is set to test the hypothesis that a given coin is unbiased. The decision rule is the following: Accept the hypothesis if the number of heads in a sample of 200 tosses is between 90 and 110 inclusive, otherwise reject the hypothesis.
