In Exercises 5–20, conduct the hypothesis test and provide the test statistic and the P-value and /or critical value, and state the conclusion.
10. Do World War II Bomb Hits Fit a Poisson Distribution? In analyzing hits by V-l buzz bombs in World War II, South London was subdivided into regions, each with an area of 0.25 km2. Shown below is a table of actual frequencies of hits and the frequencies expected with the Poisson distribution. (The Poisson distribution is described in Section 5-3.) Use the values listed and a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that the actual frequencies fit a Poisson distribution. Does the result prove that the data conform to the Poisson distribution?
