Problem

A traffic expert claims that the number of breakdowns occurring each day on a busy section of a motorway follows a Poisson distribution with mean 0.70.7. The number of breakdowns each day over a 200-day period was recorded. The following table contains the observed frequencies together with some of the expected frequencies using the expert’s distribution.

Number of breakdowns per day01234≥5\ge 5
Observed frequency887326733
Expected frequency99.317mm24.3335.6780.994nn

(a) Find the value of mm and the value of nn, correct to 3 decimal places.

[2]

(b) Carry out a goodness of fit test at the 5% significance level to investigate the expert’s claim.

把泊松概率乘以 200200 得到期望频数。至少五次的概率用补集计算,最后才取三位小数。

For X∼Poisson⁡(0.7)X\sim\operatorname{Poisson}(0.7),

m=200Pr⁡(X=1)=200e−0.7(0.7)=69.521942….m=200\Pr(X=1)=200\mathrm e^{-0.7}(0.7)=69.521942\ldots.

For the last category,

 n=200(1−e−0.7∑j=040.7jj!)= 0.157107….\begin{align*} &\,n=200\Big(1-\mathrm e^{-0.7}\sum_{j=0}^4\frac{0.7^j}{j!}\Big)\\ =&\,0.157107\ldots. \end{align*}

Thus m=69.522m=69.522 and n=0.157n=0.157, to three decimal places.

The null hypothesis is that Poisson⁡(0.7)\operatorname{Poisson}(0.7) fits the daily breakdown counts. The alternative is that it does not. Combine counts of 33, 44 and 55 or more. The observed count of this combined category is 7+3+3=137+3+3=13, and its expected count is 200Pr⁡(X≥3)=6.828316…200\Pr(X\ge3)=6.828316\ldots. The remaining expected counts are all above 55.

Using unrounded expected frequencies,

 χ2= (88−99.317…)299.317…+ (73−69.521…)269.521…+ (26−24.332…)224.332…+ (13−6.828…)26.828…= 7.15600….\begin{align*} &\,\chi^2\\ =&\,\frac{(88-99.317\ldots)^2}{99.317\ldots}\\ +&\,\frac{(73-69.521\ldots)^2}{69.521\ldots}\\ +&\,\frac{(26-24.332\ldots)^2}{24.332\ldots}\\ +&\,\frac{(13-6.828\ldots)^2}{6.828\ldots}\\ =&\,7.15600\ldots. \end{align*}

With four categories and no estimated parameter, there are 33 degrees of freedom. The upper 5%5\% critical value is 7.8157.815. Since 7.15600…<7.8157.15600\ldots<7.815, we fail to reject H0H_0. There is insufficient evidence at the 5%5\% level that the expert’s Poisson model fails to fit these breakdown counts.
