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 307 pop music selections, the key was identified correctly in 245 of them. In a sample of 347 new-age selections, the key was identified correctly in 304 of them. Can you conclude that the method is more accurate for new-age songs than for pop songs?

- What is a sample space?arrow_forwardA corporation administers an aptitude test to all new sales representatives. Management is interested in the extent to which this test is able to predict their eventual success. The accompanying table records average weekly sales (in thousands of pesos) and aptitude test scores for a random sample of eight representatives.arrow_forwardTo test the fairness of law enforcement in its area, a local citizens’ group wants to know whether women and men are unequally likely to get speeding tickets. Five hundred randomly selected adults were phoned and asked whether or not they had been cited for speeding in the last year. Using the results in the following table and a 0.100.10 level of significance, test the claim of the citizens’ group. Let men be Population 1 and let women be Population 2.

- In a study of the effects of early Alzheimer’s disease on nondeclarative memory, Reber et al. (A-2) used the Category Fluency Test to establish baseline persistence and semantic memory and language abilities. The eight subjects in the sample had Category Fluency Test scores of 11, 10, 16, 13, 21, 30, 19, 15, 25, 11. Assume that the eight subjects constitute a simple random sample from a normally distributed population of similar subjects with early Alzheimer’s disease. (a) What is the point estimate of the population mean? (b) What is the standard deviation of the sample? (c) What is the estimated standard error of the sample mean? (d) Construct a 95 percent confidence interval for the population mean category fluency test score. (e) What is the precision of the estimate? (f) State the probabilistic interpretation of the confidence interval you constructed. (g) State the practical interpretation of the confidence interval you constructed. I- Explain the practical interpretation…arrow_forwardSince an instant replay system for tennis was introduced at a major tournament, men challenged 1439 referee calls, with the result that 422 of the calls were overturned.

- The United States Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) conducts the Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages (QCEW) and reports a variety of information on each county in America. In the third quarter of 2016, the QCEW reported the total taxable earnings, in millions, of all wage earners in all 3222 counties in America. Suppose that James is an economist who collects a simple random sample of the total taxable earnings of workers in 54 American counties during the third quarter of 2016. According to the QCEW, the true population mean and standard deviation of taxable earnings, in millions of dollars, by county are ?=28.29μ=28.29 and ?=33.493σ=33.493, respectively.
