In a book, the characters are trying to determine whether the Poisson probabilistic model can be used to describe the locations that rockets landed in a city. They divided the city into 0.25-km^2 regions. They then counted the number of rockets that landed in each region, with the results shown in the table below. Complete parts (a) through (e).
Alternative hypotheses below:
A. H0: The rockets strikes can be modeled by a Poisson random variable.
H1: The rocket strikes do not follow a Poisson distribution.
B. H0: p1 = p2 = p3 = p4
H1: p1 ≠ p2 ≠ p3 ≠ p4
C. H0: The rocket strikes do not follow a Poisson distribution.
H1: The rockets strikes can be modeled by a Poisson random variable.
D. H0: p1 ≠ p2 ≠ p3 ≠ p4
H1: p1 = p2 = p3 = p4
Compute the test statistic, χ^2.
χ^2 = (Round to three decimal places as needed.)
Number of rocket hits: 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7
Observed number of regions: 229 209 96 30 7 0 0 1
