A1 Qaeda attacks on the United States. Refer to the Studies in Conflict &Terrorism (Vol. 29,2006) analysis of recent incidents involving suicide terrorist attacks, presented in Exercise 2.30 (p. 46). Data on the number of individual suicide bombings or attacks for each in a sample of 21 incidents involving an attack against the United States by the A1 Qaeda terrorist group are reproduced in the accompanying table.
a. Find the mean and standard deviation of the sample data.
b. Describe the population from which the sample is selected.
c. Use the information from part a to find a 90% confidence interval for the mean μ of the population.
d. Give a practical interpretation of the result you obtained in part c.
e. In repeatedly sampling, where intervals similar to the one computed in part c are generated, what proportion of the intervals will enclose the true value of μ?
