8. It proposed to fit the Poisson distribution to the following dat: (a) Compute the corresponding x^2 goodness of fit statistic. Hint In computing the sample mean treat 3
Solution
Find mean and std deviation for the data
p value =1
As p >0.05, the difference is not significant.
The data support the Poisson Model.
