The number of degrees of freedom is (n-1). Since n = 6, the degrees of
freedom = 5.
Consulting statistical tables, you look up x
2
to a 0.05 significance level
with 5 degrees of freedom, and see that x
2
0.05,5
= 11.07. Since x
2
= 5 is
within 11.07, we may conclude that to a 0.05 significance level (probability
= .95), the die is fair.
