Gustavo is the mayor of Guadalajara, Mexico. He is concerned that violent crime is reducing income because people are afraid to invest in their businesses. In order to address this problem, Gustavo created a Neighborhood Watch program that increases the number of police officers patrolling the streets.

She found that the average income of these 500 business was $12,000. neighborhoods that did not participate in the Neighborhood Watch program. She found that the average income of these 500 business was $18,000. She surveyed another random sample of 500 businesses from nearby 6. Use this information to fill in the appropriate two cells in the table below (leave the other two cells blank). D = 0 D = 1

The cost of CCTV maintenance in the first year is USD500,000, USD700000 in the second year, USD950000 in the third year, USD990000 in the fourth year and costs are realized at the end of each year. On the other hand, the installation of CCTV will help to reduce crime in that area and is predicted to bring about a benefit of USD2000000 for the first and second year and a benefit of USD 3000000 for the third and fourth year.
