- During the morning, the number of cyclists passing a particular point on a cycle path in a 10-minute interval travelling eastbound can be modelled by a Poisson distribution with mean 8
The number of cyclists passing the same point in a 10 -minute interval travelling westbound can be modelled by a Poisson distribution with mean 3
- Suggest a model for the total number of cyclists passing the point on the cycle path in a 10-minute interval, stating a necessary assumption.
Given that exactly 12 cyclists pass the point in a 10 -minute interval,
- find the probability that at least 11 are travelling eastbound.
After some roadworks were completed, the total number of cyclists passing the point in a randomly selected 20-minute interval one morning is found to be 14
- Test, at the \(5 \%\) level of significance, whether there is evidence of a decrease in the rate of cyclists passing the point.
State your hypotheses clearly.
