The article “A Music Key Detection Method Based on Pitch Class Distribution Theory” (J. Sun. H. Li, and L. Ma, International Journal of Knowledge-based and Intelligent Engineering Systems, 2011:165–175) describes a method of analyzing digital music files to determine the key in which the music is written. In a sample of 335 classical music selections, the key was identified correctly in 293 of them.
a. Find a 90% confidence interval for the proportion of pieces for which the key will be correctly identified.
b. How many music pieces should be sampled to specify the proportion to within ±0.025 with 90% confidence?
c. Another method of key detection is to be tested. At this point, there is no estimate of the proportion of the time this method will be identified correctly. Find a conservative estimate of the

All compact disks must pass tests prior to being sold. A random sample of 500 disks players resulted in 485 failing in one or more tests. Find a 90% confidence interval for the proportion of compact disk players from thepopulation that pass all tests.arrow_forwardAccording to the U.S. Transportation Security Administration (TSA), 2% of the 771,556,886 travelers who utilized 440 federalized airports in 2017 waited more than 20 minutes in the TSA security line. The File TSAWaitTimes contains waiting Times in TSA security lines at a major U.S. airport for a recent random sample 10,531 travelers. Use these Data to test the hypothesis that the proportion of travelers waiting more than 20 minutes in TSA security lines at this airport is the same as the national proportion at α = .05 Data given: Time In Line Mean 11.99496 Median 11.97536 Standard Deviation 3.992043 Confidence Level(95.0%) 0.076253 Provide a 95% confidence interval with interpretationarrow_forward

Seating Choice In a 3M Privacy Filters poll, respondents were asked to identify their favorite seat when they fly, and the results include these responses: window, window, other, other. Letting “window” = 1 and letting “other” = 0, here are ten bootstrap samples for those responses: { 0, 0, 0, 0}, {0, 1, 0, 0}, {0, 1, 0, 1}, {0, 0, 1, 0}, {1, 1, 1, 0}, {0, 1, 1, 0}, {1, 0, 0, 1}, {0, 1, 1, 1}, {1, 0, 1, 0}, {1, 0, 0, 1}. Using only the ten given bootstrap samples, construct an 80% confidence interval estimate of the proportion of respondents who indicated their favorite seat is “window.”arrow_forward6) In a poll, 1000 randomly selected adults are surveyed and 400 of them support a certain social program. a) Find a 90% confidence interval estimate of the percentage of adults who support the program. b) Interpret the result, and explain its meaningarrow_forward
