Probability of the data, given an intrinsic fraction S of singles out of systems with hot (red line) and cool (blue line) stars. The separation of the peaks is roughly 2.9σ (as defined in the text). Therefore, to a very high confidence, hot stars possess relatively more singles, as our hypothesis predicts.
