Question:

A philosopher of science writes,

“Suppose we toss a fair coin 10,000 times, the first 5000 tosses being done under a red light, and the last 5000 under a green light.

The color of the light does not affect the coin. However, we would expect the statistical null hypothesis—that exactly as many heads will be thrown under the red light as the green light—would very likely not be true. There will nearly always be random fluctuations that make the statistical null hypothesis false.”

Has the null hypothesis been set up correctly? Explain briefly.
