Question

Transcribed Image Text:A researcher is interested in determining if the weekend activities people engage in to alleviate stress
are uniformly distributed among office workers. They collect data from a sample of 100 office workers
to analyze. Using a significance level of a = 0.05, the researcher wants to establish whether there is any
preference among these activities or if they are equally preferred.

- Investigation 3.2: Valence Differences Between R&B and Rap Genres (Paired)A music fan claims that R&B songs tend to have a more positive tone on average than do Rapsongs. The individual collected two independent random samples from the population of SpotifySongs. Fifteen R&B songs and another fifteen Rap songs were collected and their Valence wasrecorded. The music fan believed that pairing the song by their Danceability may provideadditional information. Danceability describes how suitable a track is for dancing based on acombination of musical elements including tempo, rhythm stability, beat strength, and overallregularity. A value of 0.0 is least danceable and 1 is most danceable. Thus, the individual pairedthe R&B song with the lowest danceability with the Rap song with the lowest danceability,followed by the second and second, third and third.
