Assume that the international average homicide victimization rate is 2.92 (per 100,000). In a sample of 24 industrialized nations, LaFree and Drass (2002) found that the mean homicide victimization rate was 1.49 (per 100,000; standard deviation = 0.44). Perform a hypothesis test to determine if the mean homicide rate in industrialized nations is different than the international average. Use a 0.05 level of statistical significance.
