(1)Provide suitable background about the problem.

(2) Describe the assumptions you make about the probability distributions involved in the problem.

(3) State the appropriate null and alternative hypothesis you are planning to test.

(4) Design an experiment to test the hypothesis. Keeping in mind the ideas from the book [e.g. Chapter 12] write a short paragraph describing the experiment and explaining why you think your design is reasonable.

(5) Conduct the experiment and organize the data you collect.

(6) Use a suitable statistical test to test your hypothesis.

(7) Compute the p-value and explain whether the null hypothesis should be rejected or not.

(8) Write an overall summary.

Does a shuffle function on a digital music player produce a random permutation? Make a list of 10 (or more...) songs and play them at random without replacement. This will produce a permutation of the list. Is every permutation equally likely to be produced?
