A school has been selling raffle tickets to raise funds for the school library. Each ticket is sold for $5, and the school has sold many such tickets. Each ticket has a code. When a ticket is presented at the library book sale, it can be redeemed for $1, $5, or $10. The dollar amount being assigned to each ticket is determined by a lottery before the book sale. Heidi is wondering whether the school is actually losing money out of the raffle. (a) Formulate the null and alternative hypotheses that can be used to determine whether the school is losing money out of the raffle. Note that the issue is whether the school is losing money, not whether the school is breaking even. Please think about what the implication is when formulating the null and alternative hypotheses
