You recently received a job with a company that manufactures an automobile anti theft device. To conduct an advertising campaign for the product, you need to make a claim about the number of automobile thefts per year. Since the population of various cities in the United States varies, you decide to use rates per 10,000 people. (The rates are based on the number of people living in the cities.) Your boss said that last year the theft rate per 10,000 people was 44 vehicles. You want to see if it has changed. The following are rates per 10,000 people for 36 randomly selected locations in the United States. Assume σ = 30.3.

To put their models to the test, they recruit five friends to participate in a study. Because the friends have varying throwing abilities, the students decide to have each friend throw each model of airplane. To determine which paper airplane each friend throws first, a coin is tossed. The data are displayed in the table, which shows how far each airplane flies to the nearest inch. A 3-column table with 5 rows. Column 1 is labeled Friend with entries 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. Column 2 is labeled Model A with entries 150, 143, 108, 145, 128. Column 3 is labeled Model B with entries 228, 123, 212, 137, 174. The mean of the differences is 40 inches, and the standard deviation of the differences is 53.57 inches. The conditions for inference are met. A 90% confidence interval for the mean difference (B – A) in flight distance is –11.08 inches to 91.08 inches.
