题目
Eggs in a supermarket are sold in boxes of six. A supermarket manager wishes to model the number of broken eggs in the boxes sold in the store. A random sample of 2000 boxes is taken and the number of broken eggs recorded. The observed frequencies are shown in the table below.
| Number of broken eggs | 0 | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Observed frequency | 1844 | 143 | 11 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 1 |
(a) Use the data to estimate the probability that an egg is broken. Give your answer correct to 4 significant figures.
It is decided to carry out a goodness of fit test at the 0.5% significance level to determine whether a binomial distribution fits the data.
The observed frequencies and the expected frequencies are given in the following table.
| Number of broken eggs | 0 | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Observed frequency | 1844 | 143 | 11 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 1 |
| Expected frequency | 1831.3 | 6.016 | 0.119 | 0.001 | 0.000 | 0.000 |
(b) Show that correct to 1 decimal place.
(c) Carry out a goodness of fit test at the 0.5% level of significance to test whether a binomial distribution is a satisfactory model for the data.
(d) Give a reason why a binomial distribution may not be a suitable model in this situation.
题目中文翻译
超市中的鸡蛋按每盒六个出售。一位超市经理希望建立模型描述店内售出盒装鸡蛋中的破损鸡蛋数量。随机抽取 2000 盒,并记录破损鸡蛋的数量。观测频数如下表所示。
| 破损鸡蛋数 | 0 | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 观测频数 | 1844 | 143 | 11 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 1 |
(a) 使用数据估计一个鸡蛋破损的概率。答案精确到 4 位有效数字。
决定在 0.5% 显著性水平下进行拟合优度检验,以判断二项分布是否适合这些数据。
观测频数和期望频数如下表所示。
| 破损鸡蛋数 | 0 | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 观测频数 | 1844 | 143 | 11 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 1 |
| 期望频数 | 1831.3 | 6.016 | 0.119 | 0.001 | 0.000 | 0.000 |
(b) 证明 ,精确到 1 位小数。
(c) 在 0.5% 显著性水平下进行拟合优度检验,检验二项分布是否是这些数据的合适模型。
(d) 给出一个理由说明为什么在这种情境下二项分布可能不是合适的模型。
原卷通用作答要求
Answer all questions. You should use a calculator where appropriate.
You must show all necessary working clearly; no marks will be given for unsupported answers from a calculator.
Give non-exact numerical answers correct to 3 significant figures, or 1 decimal place for angles in degrees, unless a different level of accuracy is specified in the question.

There are broken eggs out of . Thus the estimated probability is
to four significant figures.

Under the fitted binomial model,
Thus to one decimal place.
解法二
思路

期望频数的总和等于样本总数。用总数减去表中其余各格,即可求缺少的一格。
答题过程
展开
Using the expected frequencies given in the table,
Thus to one decimal place. The small difference from the direct binomial calculation is due to rounding in the table.
(c)
解法一
思路
展开
将低频的尾格并为 枚或以上。参数 来自同一数据,所以计算自由度时扣除一个参数。

Test that the fitted binomial distribution is a satisfactory model for the number of broken eggs per box against that it is not. Combine categories through . The observed counts are then , with expected counts approximately . They all exceed . The statistic is
There are degrees of freedom. The upper critical value is . Since the statistic exceeds this value, we reject . There is sufficient evidence at the level that the fitted binomial distribution is unsuitable for these box counts.

二项模型要求同一箱内每枚蛋的破损事件独立。考虑整箱受到冲击的情况。

If a box is dropped or crushed, several eggs in it may break together. The breakages within a box may therefore be dependent, contrary to the binomial model.
