Hey Class,

I want to test whether making 7 or more three-pointers helps my basketball team win games.

• H0: Making 7 or more three-pointers has no effect on winning.
• HA: Making 7 or more three-pointers increases the chance of winning.
• Significance level: 0.10
• P-value: 0.03

Three-pointers have a big impact on the outcomes of most basketball games. I want to test whether making 7 or more three-pointers helps my team win games.

Null hypothesis (H0) - Making 7 or more three-pointers has no effect on whether the team wins a game.

Alternative hypothesis (HA) - Making 7 or more three-pointers increases the team's chances of winning a game.

Significance level - The significance level is 0.10 (allowing for a stricter test of the effect).

P-value - The p-value is calculated as 0.03.

Conclusion - After reviewing game data where the team made fewer than 7 three-pointers versus 7 or more, the difference in win rates is statistically significant, with a p-value of 0.03, which is below the alpha of 0.10. I conclude that the study supports the alternative hypothesis that making 7 or more three-pointers improves the team's chances of winning.
