(a) Use a calculator with mean and sample standard deviation keys to find the sample mean x and sample standard deviation s. (Round your answers to one decimal place.)
x =  crimes per 1000 people
s =  crimes per 1000 people

(b) Let us say the preceding data are representative of the population crime rates in Denver neighborhoods. Compute an 80% confidence interval for μ, the population mean crime rate for all Denver neighborhoods. (Round your answers to one decimal place.)
lower limit      crimes per 1000 people
upper limit      crimes per 1000 people

 

 Compute a 95% confidence interval for μ, the population mean crime rate for all Denver neighborhoods. (Round your answers to one decimal place.)

lower limit           crimes per 1000 people
upper limit      crimes per 1000 people
