Risk of home burglary in cul-de-sacs. Research published in the Journal of Quantitative Criminology (March 2010) revealed that the risk of burglaries in homes located on cul-de-sacs is lower than for homes on major roads. Suppose you want to estimate the true percentage of culdesac homes in your home city that were burglarized in the past year. Devise a sampling plan so that your estimate will be accurate to within 2% of the true value using a confidence coefficient of 95%. How many cul-de-sac homes need to be sampled and what information do you need to collect for each sampled home?
