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.

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?
A therapist believes that the music a child listens to may have an impact on the number of words on a list he or she can memorize. 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…

An experiment was conducted to see if listening to music while learning increased retention of material. Forty student voluntcers at a college were randomly assigned to one of two groups of twenty. The first group listencd to a teacher lecture with music playing in the background and the second group just listened to the teacher lecture. After the lecture, studcnts were given a test on the material that was taught. Thirtecn of the students in group one passed the test and 11 of the students in group two passed the test. Thus, the difference in the proportion of studcnts who passed the test was 0.10. Fifty trials of a simulation were performed to sec what differences in proportions would occur due to chance variation in the random assignment assuming listening to music did not matter. The dotplot of the results of the simulation is shown below.
