reject the null hypothesis and interpret the decision in the context of the original claim.
-A pitching machine throws baseballs that are either strikes (S)or balls (B). A coach records whether each ball
thrown during batting practice is a strike or a ball. Can you conclude that the sequence of pitches is random?
Use α\alpha = 0.05.  B  B  S  B  S  S  B  B  S  B  B  B  B  S  B  S  S  S  S  S  B  B  B  B  S  B  B  S  B  B  B  S  S  S  B  S  S  S  B  B  B  B  B  S  S  S  S  S  S  S \begin{array} { l l l l l l l l l l } \text { B } & \text { B } & \text { S } & \text { B } & \text { S } & \text { S } & \text { B } & \text { B } & \text { S } & \text { B } \\\text { B } & \text { B } & \text { B } & \text { S } & \text { B } & \text { S } & \text { S } & \text { S } & \text { S } & \text { S } \\\text { B } & \text { B } & \text { B } & \text { B } & \text { S } & \text { B } & \text { B } & \text { S } & \text { B } & \text { B } \\\text { B } & \text { S } & \text { S } & \text { S } & \text { B } & \text { S } & \text { S } & \text { S } & \text { B } & \text { B } \\\text { B } & \text { B } & \text { B } & \text { S } & \text { S } & \text { S } & \text { S } & \text { S } & \text { S } & \text { S }\end{array} B
