Example 1 (discrete data)
• The number of vehicles arriving at the network corner of an
intersection in a 5 minutes period between 7 am and 7.05 am was
monitored for 5 work days over a 20 week period. The following table
shows the resulting data. Draw an histogram for it.

components at 1.5 times the nominal voltage and their life time in
days was recorded.. Draw a histogram for the following data

• The number of vehicles arriving at the network corner of an
intersection in a 5 minutes period between 7 am and 7.05 am was
monitored for 5 work days over a 20 week period. The following table
shows the resulting data. Estimate the value of the parameters and
also find S2

Example 4
• A robot is used to install the doors on automobile are assembly line, it
was thought that the installation times followed a normal
distribution, the robot is capable of measuring installation times
accurately. A sample of 20 installation times was automatically taken
by the robot with the following results.

• The rates of 10 investments in a portfolio are 18.8, 27.9, 21.0, 6.1,
37.4, 5.0, 22.9, 1.0, 3.1 and 8.3 percent. Estimate the parameters of
lognormal model of these data
example 6 (chi-square test)
• The number of vehicles arriving at the network corner of an
intersection in a 5 minutes period between 7 am and 7.05 am was
monitored for 5 work days over a 20 week period. The following table
shows the resulting data and test whether the data follows a poisson
distribution using chi-square test of goodness of fit.

Example 7 (chi-square)
• Records pertaining to the monthly number of jobs related injuries and
an underground coal mine where beings studied by a federal
agencies values for the past 100 months are as follows. Apply the chi-
square test to thin data to test the hypothesis that the underlying
distribution is poisson using chi-square test of goodness of fit.
