Your boss said that last year the teft rate per 10,000 people was 44 vehicles. You want to see if it has changed. The following are rates per 10,000 people for 36 randomly selected locations in the United States.

The rest of the world might call this class or School Subject statistics, but I'm sure your university is unique in all the world so nobody else can help you. If you have a question about statistics, you might put that in the School Subject box so someone who is expert in that School Subject might see your post.
