2 Arvind uses an ordinary fair 6-sided die to play a game. He believes he has a system to predict the score when the die is thrown. Before each throw of the die, he writes down what he thinks the score will be. He claims that he can write the correct score more often than he would if he were just guessing. His friend Laxmi tests his claim by asking him to write down the score before each of 15 throws of the die. Arvind writes the correct score on exactly 5 out of 15 throws. Test Arvind's claim at the \(10 \%\) significance level.
