Probability dice flip Central Limit Theorem problem

$begingroup$



Suppose you flip a fair dice 300 times. Let $X$ be the number of times a $6$ was thrown. What is the probability that $X$ is greater than 60?




How can I start with such a problem?

          Let's take $X_i$ to be $1$ if you got $6$ for the $i$-th dice.



          $E(X_i)=frac{1}{6}, Var(X_i)=frac{1}{6}-frac{1}{36}=frac{5}{36}$



          Now we are looking for $X=sum_{i=1}^{300}X_i$



          $E(X)=E(sum_{i=1}^{300}X_i)=sum_{i=1}^{300}E(X_i)=50$



          $Var(X)=Var(sum_{i=1}^{300}X_i)=sum_{i=1}^{300}Var(X_i)=300cdotfrac{5}{36}=41frac{2}{3}$



          Now we can start playing with the central limit theorem.



          When $nrightarrow infty $ you get $frac{frac{1}{n}sum_{i=1}^{n}X_i-E(X_i)}{sigma/sqrt(n)}rightarrow z$ when $z$ is a normal distribution.



          So $P(X>60)=P(X-E(X)>10)=P(frac{X}{n}-E(X_i)>frac{10}{n})= $



          $=P(frac{frac{x}{n}-E(X_i)}{frac{5}{36}/sqrt(n)}>frac{10}{frac{5}{36}sqrt(n)})= P(frac{frac{x}{n}-E(X_i)}{sigma/sqrt(n)}>4.157)=1- phi(4.157)$



          So I ended up calculating $Var(X)$ for free.



          I didn't justify every step as you suppose to, but if there is any step you don't understand you are welcome to ask.



          And I might have some calculation errors, but the concept should be correct.
