3. High levels of cockpit noise in an aircraft can damage the hearing of pilots who are exposed to this hazard for many hours. A Boeing 727 co-pilot collected 61 noise observations using a handheld sound meter. Noise level is defined as “Low” (under 88 decibels), “Medium” (88 to 91 decibels), or “High” (92 decibels or more). There are three flight phases (Climb, Cruise, Descent).
Research question:
At α = .05, is the cockpit noise level independent of flight phase?

Low 6 2 6 14
Medium 18 3 8 29
High 1 3 14 18

4. Can people really identify their favorite brand of cola? Volunteers tasted Coca-Cola Classic, Pepsi, Diet Coke, and Diet Pepsi, with the results shown below.
Research question:
At α = .05, is the correctness of the prediction different for the two types of cola drinkers? Could you identify your favorite brand in this kind of test?
Since it is a 2 °— 2 table, try also a two-tailed two-sample z test for π1 = π2 (see Chapter 10) and verify that z2 is the same as your chi-square statistic. Which test do you prefer? Why?
