While researching a topic, a student has taken the following notes:
* British musicians John Lennon and Paul McCartney shared writing credit for numerous Beatles songs.
* Many Lennon-McCartney songs were actually written by either Lennon or McCartney, not by both.
* The exact authorship of specific parts of many Beatles songs, such as the verse for "In My Life," is disputed.
* Mark Glickman, Jason Brown, and Ryan Song used statistical methods to analyze the musical content of Beatles songs.
* They concluded that there is 18.9% probability that McCartney wrote the verse for "In My Life," stating that the verse is "consistent with Lennon's songwriting style."
The student wants to make a generalization about the kind of study conducted by Glickman, Brown, and Song. Which choice most effectively uses relevant information from the notes to accomplish this goal?
Difficulty: Hard
A:
Based on statistical analysis, Glickman, Brown, and Song claim that John Lennon wrote the verse of "In My Life."
B:
There is only an 18.9% probability that Paul McCartney wrote the verse for “In My Life”; John Lennon is the more likely author.
C:
It is likely that John Lennon, not Paul McCartney, wrote the verse for “In My Life.”
D:
Researchers have used statistical methods to address questions of authorship within the field of music.
