a. Construct a dotplot using the 16 observations on number of violent crimes reported. Which schools stand out from the rest?

b. One of the Florida schools has only 861 students and a few of the schools are quite a bit larger than the rest. Because of this, it might make more sense to consider a crime rate by calculating the number of violent crimes reported per 1000 students. For example, for Florida A&M University the violent crime rate would be 6/9928 (1000) = (0.001)(1000) = 1.0 Calculate the violent crime rate for the other 15 schools and then use those values to construct a dotplot. Do the same schools stand out as unusual in this dotplot?

c. Based on your answers from Parts (a) and (b), write a couple of sentences commenting on violent crimes reported at Florida universities and colleges in 2016.
