TopicChi-squared distribution

3 A statistician believes that the number of telephone calls received by an advice centre in a 10 -minute interval can be modelled by the Poisson distribution \(\mathrm { Po } ( 1.9 )\). The number of calls received in a randomly chosen 10-minute interval was recorded on each of 100 days. The results are summarised in the table, together with some of the expected frequencies corresponding to the distribution \(\operatorname { Po } ( 1.9 )\).
Number of calls0123456 or more
Observed frequency101835211141
Expected frequency14.95728.41826.9971.322
  1. Complete the table.
  2. Carry out a goodness of fit test, at the \(10 \%\) significance level, to determine whether the statistician's belief is reasonable.
