Between Sunday 4 April 2010 and Sunday 30 May 2010, the Boston Red Sox played fifty-two games – winning twenty-nine and losing twenty-three.
The hypothesis is that when the Boston Red Sox have double digit hits (ten or more) in a game, the team is likely to win the game. When the Boston Red Sox have single digit hits (zero to nine) in a game, the team is likely to lose the game.
Hitting (Season-To-Sunday 30 May 2010)
Red Sox wins when hitting in double digits = 18
Red Sox losses when hitting in double digits = 5
Total number of games = 23
Red Sox won 78.26% of the games when hitting in double digits
Red Sox wins when hitting in single digits = 11
Red Sox losses when hitting in single digits = 18
Total number of games = 29
Red Sox won 37.93% of the games when hitting in single digits
The hypothesis remains valid.
