2. If we take a random sample of counties in Oklahoma and look at the number of Covid-19 cases in each we could use that to estimate an average number of cases per county.
2 57 2 4 2
6 11 28 15 1
3 52 72 45 2
(a) Calculate the sample mean and sample variance.
(b) Assume that the numbers of cases in a county are normally distributed, and calculate a 95% confidence interval for the mean time using your sample statistics.
(c) Is this likely to actually be normally distributed? Why or why not?
I calculated the sample mean and variance through excel and got 20.133 for the mean, and 592.1238 for the variance, I don't know how to do (b) or (c) though.
