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...
