12 Po Α' Α' 43 E 2281 Sources: t Predictions: On Paragraph E 2359 R ¶ https://osf.io/preprints/socarxiv/s7dmu F Background: On September 20, 2017 hurricane Maria hit Puerto Rico full force, wiping out the entire infrastructure of the island. In the aftermath, it was difficult to obtain realistic counts of deaths attributable to the hurricane. By November, the death toll due to the hurricane stood at 55 according to public safety officials in Puerto Rico. This number was quite controversial and, for many people on the ground, it seemed inaccurate. The mayor of San Juan, for example, was sure that an accurate count was closer to 500 deaths or more in the month of September. Statistics can be used to determine excess deaths using confidence intervals and several such groups did just that. A) Find the 95% confidence interval for the true mean number of deaths, in Puerto Rico for the month of September in the seven years prior to Hurricane Maria. This data includes all causes of deaths, both hurricane-related as well as natural deaths that would have occurred with or without a hurricane. Total deaths in Puerto Rico in the month of September for the years 2010-2016 are: % 141 https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2017/12/08/us/puerto-rico-hurricane-maria-death-toll.html 40 5 2454 B) Compute the estimate using GeoGebra and capture a screenshot of your results.
