Chapter 6.6, Problem 3E
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?

A study published in the American Journal of Public Health was conducted to determine whether the use of seat belts in motor vehicles depends on ethnic status in San Diego County. A sample of 792 children treated for injuries sustained from motor vehicle accidents was obtained, and each child was classified according to (1) ethnic status (Hispanic or non-Hispanic) and (2) seat belt usage (worn or not worn) during the accident. The number of children in each category is given in the table below.
