Abstract
In this paper, the likelihood ratio approach is applied for measuring evidence provided by record data in favor of a hypothesis against an alternative under a random sampling scheme. Explicit expressions for probabilities of observing strong and weak evidences are derived. Asymptotic behaviors of these probabilities are investigated in a greater detail. Optimal sample size in which the substantial evidence reaches a desired level is determined. An illustrative example concerning records of times between consecutive telephone calls to a company\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'s switchboard is also analyzed.
