That b*tch will never be me.”Ĭould Beyoncé be stung by Jay’s unfaithfulness? Sure, it’s possible, they’re human. The Drunk In Love singer also seemed to direct her angst at an unknown mistress by adding the lyric: “She ain’t even half of me. The change is a bit odd the track was released eight years ago in 2006, yet Bey only added six years to the lyric for reasons only she knows. On the recorded version of the song Beyoncé sings: “Been ridin’ with you for six years,” but on Saturday changed the line to: “Been ridin’ with you for the past 12 years.” Now fans and the media are wondering if she is secretly throwing shots at her husband, who has been rumoured to have been unfaithful, though the claims are unsubstantiated. Queen B, who is on tour with her hubby Jay Z, took the stage in a white wedding dress and a veil to perform her 2006 infidelity-ode Resentment. The latter statement is equivalent to accepting the null hypothesis.Beyoncé some of the most memorable lyrics in music today, so when she decides to switch up a line or two in concert, her Bey Hive will surely notice. That’s exactly what happened after Saturday’s Cincinnati, Ohio On The Run tour date. This is not the same as saying “Beyonce did write the lyrics”. This means that we do not have convincing evidence that Beyonce did not write the lyrics. The true average word length for “Crazy in Love” is 3.53, which is not very far from the known Beyonce average word length of 3.64.
The convenience sample has high bias because most of the estimates are overestimates of the truth (most dots are above 3.53) and the simple random sample has low bias because about half of the estimates are overestimates and half are underestimates. This is the perfect context to discuss how poor sampling methods can lead to bias.
Point at one of the dots and ask “What does this dot represent?” The answer is “A sample of 5 words, and an average calculated from that sample.” Then point at a different dot and ask ‘What does this dot represent?” The answer is “A different sample of 5 words, and an average calculated from that sample.” So the dotplot represents many, many samples and an average calculated for each of those samples (the sampling distribution of a sample mean). This might be the first time that students are experiencing a sampling distribution, which will be an important concept when we get to inference. The first sampling method will be the “quickly circle 5 words” method (convenience sample), which will produce terrible overestimates, leading us to want to use a better sampling method (simple random sample!). Since we know for sure that Beyonce wrote the lyrics for all of the Destiny’s Child songs (average word length 3.64), we should be able to determine her possible authorship of “Crazy in Love” by finding the average word length.īut we don’t have time to find the actual word length for all of the words in “Crazy in Love” (population). It turns out that the average word length is fairly consistent for each author and can be used as a way to distinguish one author from another. It is well known that different authors use different styles and word choice.
So how do we use statistics to determine if Beyonce wrote the lyrics to “Crazy in Love”? “‘Crazy in Love’ was really hard to write because there was so much going on … I mean, I had written - what? -seven, eight number one songs with Destiny’s Child, in a row.” In a Vanity Fair article, Beyonce came back at them: When her hit “ Crazy in Love ” came out, people started questioning whether or not she had written the lyrics. Except for a few history nerds, there were few students who cared to find out the true author of the Gettysburg Address.Įnter Beyonce. But the context never got the buy-in from students that I wanted. This activity brilliantly reveals the need for a simple random sample when making inferences for a population. For 10 years, I have used the Gettysburg Address Activity to teach this lesson.
