This document discusses analyzing the distribution of outcomes from tossing a shagai, or Mongolian knucklebones. It presents results from 200 trials of tossing a shagai and calculates the probability of each of the four possible outcomes. It then discusses modeling the distribution theoretically and uses two methods, method of moments and maximum likelihood, to estimate the parameters of the theoretical distribution. Finally, it discusses calculating a confidence interval for the probability of one of the outcomes based on 50 trials of 20 tosses each.

Then, the probability distribution is:
If we consider
• Sheep => x=0
• Goat => x=1
• Camel => x=2
• Horse => x=3
9. Implemented by:
In second trial, Shagai is tossed 20 times and the probability
of each outcome is calculated.
This trial is conducted 50 times.

Confidence interval for the average probability of rolling a sheep:
Trial number=n=50
Z-score =𝑧 𝛼/2= 1.96 (95%) [1.65 for 90%, 2.58 for 99%]
Sample mean = 𝑥= 0.4100
Sample standard deviation = s = 0.095298
(0.41)±(1.96) × (0.095298)/( 50) = 0.4100 ± 0.0264
