Thirty-one small communities in Connecticut (population near
10,000 each) gave an average of x(with a dash above it) = 138.5
reported cases of larceny per year. Assume that σ is known to be
42.7 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.)
