4. Calculate the variance and standard deviation for the top 22 states with the most number of total murders. Round off your answer to the nearest whole number.


5. In California, given that a specific person was murdered by a firearm, what was the probability that the murder was committed with a rifle? Simplify all fraction answers.


6. In Texas, given that a specific person was murdered by a firearm, what is the probability that the murder was committed either with a rifle or a shotgun? Simplify all fraction answers.

7. Choose 2 states, and determine how many more times likely a person is to be murdered using a rifle in one state compared to the other state if the person is murdered. Simplify all fraction answers.

Chosen States Probability

The number of times more likely (rounded to the nearest thousandths)



8. For what reasons do you think California and Texas seemingly had a disproportionate number of murders than Pennsylvania and New York in 2015? Please do your research and include the references that support your answer.

Solutions

Expert Solution

Soln 5:

Probability = Favourable Outcome (F)/Total Outcomes (T)

For California,

T = Total people murdered by Firearm = 1275

F = People murdered by Rifles = 34

Hence,

P = 34/1275 = 0.267 or 26.7%

Soln 6:

Probability = Favourable Outcome (F)/Total Outcomes (T)

For Texas,

T = Total people murdered by Firearm = 906

F = People murdered by either Rifles or shotgun = 19 + 36 = 55

Hence,

P = 55/906 = 0.0607 or 6.07% ~6%

Soln 7:

We choose California & Texas,

Probability of Murder by Rifle in California (P1) = 34/1861 = 0.0183 or 1.83%

Probability of Murder by Rifle in Texas (P2) = 19/1276 = 0.0149 or 1.49%

Hence, Probability of Murder by Rifle in California is more likely than that of in Texas
