Question

A national online business magazine reports that the average cost of a speeding ticket in Miami, including court fees, is $220. A local police department claims that this amount has increased. To test their claim, they collect data from a simple random sample of 16 drivers who have been fined for speeding in the last year. Assuming that the distribution of speeding ticket costs is normally distributed and the population standard deviation is $12, is there sufficient evidence to support the police department’s claim at the 0.01 level of significance?

Features Features Normal distribution is characterized by two parameters, mean (µ) and standard deviation (σ). When graphed, the mean represents the center of the bell curve and the graph is perfectly symmetric about the center. The mean, median, and mode are all equal for a normal distribution. The standard deviation measures the data's spread from the center. The higher the standard deviation, the more the data is spread out and the flatter the bell curve looks. Variance is another commonly used measure of the spread of the distribution and is equal to the square of the standard deviation.
