Today one of my students asked if the class could take a quick survey for her stats class. Since it only took about one minute I said yes, but it reminded me of my stats project.
"Determination of Time Intervals: A Comparison of Hope College Music and Religion Majors" by Amanda DeYoung and Brian Worrel
The results?
Religion majors are more accurate at predicting 10 and 20 seconds. For 30 seconds there was no statistical difference.
This is not what we expected. I remember a bunch of music students humming the same song that is 60 beats per minute, although I don't remember what song it was. Apparently they were trying too hard. :D
