A sociologist hypothesizes that the crime rate is higher in areas with higher poverty rate and lower median income. She col- lects data on the crime rate (crimes per 100,000 residents), the poverty rate (in %), and the median income (in $1,000s) from 41 New England cities.

Can you analyze and describe the sample data? What are the average and median temperatures? How much variability is there in the temperatures? Is there anything that stands out? Our engineers’ assumption is that the temperature data is normally distributed. If that is the case, what would be the likelihood that the Safety Zone temperature will exceed 5.15 degrees? What is the probability that the Safety Zone temperature will be less than 4.65 degrees? What is the actual percentage of samples that exceed 5.25 degrees or are less than 4.75 degrees? Is the manufacturing process producing units with stable Safety Zone temperatures? Can you check if there are any apparent changes in the temperature pattern? Are there any outliers?
