Question: Do World War II Bomb Hits Fit a Poisson Distribution? In analyzing hits by V-1 buzz bombs in WWII, South London was subdivided into regions, each with an area of 0.25km2. Shown below is a table of actual frequencies of hits and the frequencies expected with the Poisson distribution. Use the values listed and a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that the actual frequencies fit a Poisson distribution.

Number of bomb hits – 0 1 2 3 4or more

Actual # of regions 229 211 93 35 8

Expected # of regions

(Poisson distribution)227.5 211.4 97.9 30.5 8.7
