Motivation of drug dealers. Refer to the Applied Psychology in Criminal Justice (Sept. 2009) study of the personality characteristics of drug dealers, Exercise 2.102

(p. 105). Recall that each in a sample of 100 convicted drug dealers was scored on the Wanting Recognition (WR)

Scale, which provides a quantitative measure of a person’s level of need for approval and sensitivity to social situations. LO6

(Higher scores indicate a greater need for approval.)

The sample of drug dealers had a mean WR score of 39, with a standard deviation of 6. Use this information to find an interval estimate of the mean WR score for all convicted drug dealers. Use a confidence coefficient of 99%.

Interpret the result.
