The alternative hypotheses in this case is dropping an atomic bomb against your enemies will end war and save lives. The null hypothesis was ending war and saving lives had nothing to do with the reason why the atomic bomb was dropped. It was dropped on the sole propose of showing the world that it would be willing to use nuclear weapons against its enemies. Finding the data on how many times we used bombs on enemies and non-enemies can test both hypotheses. After that we will take a look at the
