Trevor thinks that left-handed pitchers in a baseball league are more likely to strike out batters than right-handed pitchers are. He's considering each "at-bat" as an opportunity for a strikeout. He takes a random sample of at-bats where the pitcher was left-handed, and he records the proportion of those at-bats that result in a strikeout.

Which of the following is an appropriate set of hypotheses for Trevor'?
