Question

Cold Lottery Numbecrs. Newspapers in states with lotteries often report numbers that are "hot" and numbers that are "not". (As you are learning statistics, you should become aware that there are no "hot" or "cold" numbers in a fair lottery. In one such article, a newspaper reported that, among the numbers 1 to 40, inclusive, "35" was a hot number and "2"' was a col number. Suppose you wish to use a sample of randomly selected integers between 1 and 40, inclusive, to test these conjectures. What are the appropriate null HO and alternative H1 hypotheses for testing whether "2" is a "cold" number

Explanation / Answer

H0: The 2 is a cold number
