Cp. I don't think, she'll find it out. Надеюсь, она это не узнает. В кратких ответах с глаголом to hope в этом значении употребляются наречия not (для отрицания) и so (для утверждения): I hope so.

Мы не надеялись/не думали/не рассчитывали получить ответ так быстро. I expect to see him tomorrow. Я рассчитываю/надеюсь увидеть его завтра. (3.) See believe, v (4.) See so, adv; USAGE (1.). -
