Thirty-two small communities in Connecticut (population near 10,000 each) gave an average of x = 138.5 reported cases of larceny per year. Assume that σ is known to be 43.1 cases per year.

(a) Find a 90% confidence interval for the population mean annual number of reported larceny cases in such communities. What is the margin of error? (Round your answers to one decimal place.)

Expert Solution

90% confidence interval for is

- Z * / sqrt(n) < < + Z * / sqrt(n)

138.5 - 1.645 * 43.1 / sqrt(32) < < 138.5 + 1.645 * 43.1 / sqrt(32)

126.0 < < 151.0

Lower limit = 126.0

Upper limit = 151.0

margin of error = Z * / sqrt(n) = 1.645 * 43.1 / sqrt(32) = 12.5

b)

95% confidence interval for is

- Z * / sqrt(n) < < + Z * / sqrt(n)

138.5 - 1.96 * 43.1 / sqrt(32) < < 138.5 + 1.96 * 43.1 / sqrt(32)

123.6 < < 153.4

Lower limit = 123.6

Upper limit = 153.4

margin of error = Z * / sqrt(n) = 1.96 * 43.1 / sqrt(32) = 14.9

c)

99% confidence interval for is

- Z * / sqrt(n) < < + Z * / sqrt(n)

138.5 - 2.576 * 43.1 / sqrt(32) < < 138.5 + 2.576 * 43.1 / sqrt(32)

118.9  < < 158.1

Lower limit = 118.9

Upper limit = 158.1

margin of error = Z * / sqrt(n) = 2.576 * 43.1 / sqrt(32) = 19.6
