Question

Is the crime rate in New York different from the crime rate in New Jersey? Independent random samples from region A (cities in New York) and region B (cities in New Jersey) gave the following information about violent crime rate (number of violent crimes per 100,000 population). (Reference: U.S. Department of Justice, Federal Bureau of Investigation.)

Region A 467 454 409 607 562 503 602 516 610 590 453  
Region B 406 569 517 408 532 465 501 457 443 617 613 524

Use a 10% level of significance to test the claim that there is no difference in the crime rate distributions of the two states.
