[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.
- Estimate the mean from the sample.
- Calculate the expected frequencies assuming a Poisson distribution. Show your calculations in a spreadsheet format.
- 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.
- At α = .05, can you reject the hypothesis that arrivals per day follow a Poisson process?
