Question:
1.26 Example 1.5 gave the accompanying data on violent crime on college campuses in Florida during continued 2012 (from the FBI web site):
University/College Student Enrollment Number of Violent Crimes Reported in 2012 Edison State College 17,107 4 Florida A&M University 13,204 14 Florida Atlantic University 25,246 4 Florida Gulf Coast University 12,851 3 Florida International University 44,616 9 Florida State University 41,067 31 New College of Florida 845 1 Pensacola State College 11,531 3 Santa Fe College 15,493 1 Tallahassee Community College 15,090 2 University of Central Florida 58,465 26 University of Florida 49,589 18 University of North Florida 16,198 2 University of South Florida 4,310 2 University of West Florida 11,982 2
a. Construct a dotplot using the 15 observations on number of violent crimes reported. Which schools stand out from the rest?
b. One of the Florida schools has only 845 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 14 13,204 s1000d 5 s0.0011ds1000d 5 1.1 Calculate the violent crime rate for the other 14 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 2012.
