Chapter 10, Problem 13SE
Violins Stradivarius violins, made in the 1700s by a man of the same name, are worth millions of dollars. They are prized by music lovers for their uniquely rich, full sound. In September 2009, an audience of experts took part in a blind test of violins, one of which was a Stradivarius. There were four other violins (modern-day instruments) made of specially treated wood. When asked to pick the Stradivarius after listening to all five violins, 39 got it right and 113 got it wrong (Time, November 23, 2009).
a. If this group were just guessing, how many people (out of the 152) would be expected to guess correctly? And how many would be expected to guess incorrectly?
b. Calculate the observed value of the chi-square statistic showing each step of the calculation.

Andre is in the band and he is conducting an experiment to determine if high school students find listening to classical music or listening to the sounds of the ocean more calming. He selects five students at random from the band to listen to classical music. He then selects five people at random from the swim team to listen to the sounds of the ocean. What is problematic about the way that Andre selected his groups?
A researcher investigates whether classical music is more or less soothing to air-traffic controllers than modern music. She plays a classical selection to a group of people and measures their irritability. 24 hours later she plays the same group a modern selection and then measures their irritability. What test should she perform?

In order to test this, the therapist selects a random sample of children for an experiment. She has the children look over a list of 100 words for 5 minutes while listening to classic rock music. After the 5 minutes, she tests the children to see how many words they can remember from the list. She then does the same experiment, this time with a different list of words, while the children listen to classical music. Suppose that data were collected for a random sample of 19 children, where each difference is calculated by subtracting the number of words remembered listening to classical music from the number of words remembered listening to classic rock music. Assume that the numbers of words are normally distributed. The test statistic is t≈6.448, α=0.05, the corresponding rejection regions are t<−2.101 and t>2.101, the null hypothesis is H0:μd=0, and…arrow_forward
- (Use SPSS) In your Geology class, the professor provides you with a sack containing ten marbles made of different materials – the label on the sack states that there are 4 onyx marbles, 2 quartz marbles, 3 granite marbles, and 1 alabaster marble. The professor instructs you to draw out a marble (without looking in the sack), record its type, and return the marble to the bag. You repeat this process until you’ve recorded the results of 100 draws (shown below). Using a 1% significance level, test to determine if your sampling results indicate that the label on the sack is incorrect. Be sure to check any assumptions.
