[See Solution] At a local supermarket receiving dock, the number of truck arrivals per day is recorded for 100 days. Estimate the mean from the sample.


Question: At a local supermarket receiving dock, the number of truck arrivals per day is recorded for 100 days.

  1. Estimate the mean from the sample.
  2. Calculate the expected frequencies assuming a Poisson distribution. Show your calculations in a spreadsheet format.
  3. Carry out the chi-square test, combining end categories as needed to ensure that all expected frequencies are at least five. Show your degrees of freedom calculation.
  4. At α = .05, can you reject the hypothesis that arrivals per day follow a Poisson process?
