Question
#19 d and e
c) Interval:
19. FBI Report: Larceny Thirty small communities in Connecticut (population
near 10,000 each) gave an average of x 138.5 reported cases of larceny per
year. Assume that o is known to be 42.6 cases per year (Reference: Crime in
the United States, Federal Bureau of Investigation).
(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?
(b) Find a 95% confidence interval for the population mean annual number of
reported larceny cases in such communities. What is the margin of error?
(c) Find a 99% confidence interval for the population mean annual number of
reported larceny cases in such communities. What is the margin of error?
(d) Compare the margins of error for parts (a) through (c). As the confidence
levels increase, do the margins of error increase?
(e) Critical Thinking Compare the lengths of the confidence intervals for
parts (a) through (c). As the confidence levels increase, do the confidence
intervals increase in length?
