The county highway department recorded the following probabilities for the number of accidents per day on a certain freeway for one month. The number of accidents per day and their corresponding probabilities are shown PLEASEFIND MEAN, VARIANCE, AND STANDARD X 1234 P(X) 0.3 0.1 0.1 0.1 0.4
A civil engineer has been studying the frequency of vehicle accidents on a certain stretch of interstate highway. Longterm history indicates that there has been an average of 1.70 accidents per day on this section of the interstate. Let r be a random variable that represents number of accidents per day. Let O represent the number of observed accidents per day based on local highway patrol reports. A random sample of 90 days gave the following information. r 0 1...
The number if traffic accidents that occur on a particular stretch of road during a month follows a Poisson distribution with a mean of 6.4 a) Find the probability that less than 3 accidents will occur next month on this stretch of road. b) Find the mean and standard deviation of the number of traffic accidents.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reported the percentage of traffic accidents occurring each day of the week. Assume that a sample of 420 accidents provided the following data Sunday Monday Tues day Wednesday Thursday riday Saturday 50 53 47 69 (a) Conduct a hypothesis test to determine if the proportion of traffic accidents is the same for each day of the week. Use a 0.05 level of significance. State the null and alternative hypotheses. Ho: Not all proportions are...
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reported the percentage of traffic accidents occurring each day of the week. Assume that a sample of 420 acdldents provided the following data. Sunday Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday Saturday 50 64 48 56 53 70 9 a. Conduct a hypothesis test to determine if the proportion of traffic accidents is the same for each day of the week.

Past data indicated that there were on an average 4 accidents on a highway per year. Number of accidents per year may be assumed to have Poisson distribution. The mean of Poisson distribution, is given by Θ. Find the probability of 1) no accidents; 2) 4 accidents, 3) at least 4 accidents per year.
There are 12 accidents per month on a highway. Define the random variable X= no.of accidents in a week. a) What distribution does X follow? b) Find the mean, variance, standard deviation of the random variable X. c) Find the probability of producing 5 accidents in a week.
5. Suppose that the number of accidents on a certain motorway each day is a Poisson random variable with parameter (mean rate) A-3. (i) Find the probability that there are more than three accidents today. (ii) Repeat (i), given that at least one accident occurs today
