Problem: You are given a set of 200 baseball cards and have reason to believe that more than half of them are of Brewers players \((p>.5)\). You design an experiment to test whether this hypothesis is correct. Each trial is to draw a card and record a+ if it is a Brewer and a if it is not. You replace the card and repeat the trials 10 times. You then count the number of times you drew a Brewer. You want to test whether the true proportion of Brewers cards is greater than .5.
