Question

A pathologist has been studying the frequency of bacterial colonies within the field of a microscope using samples of throat cultures from healthy adults. Long-term history indicates that there is an average of 2.62 bacteria colonies per field. Let r be a random variable that represents the number of bacteria colonies per field. Let O represent the number of observed bacteria colonies per field for throat cultures from healthy adults. A random sample of 100 healthy adults gave the following information.

r	0	1	2	3	4	5 or more
O	13	13	27	18	22	7

(a) The pathologist wants to use a Poisson distribution to represent the probability of r, the number of bacteria colonies per field. The Poisson distribution is given below.

P(r) =

e^−λλ^r

Here λ = 2.62 is the average number of bacteria colonies per field. Compute P(r) for r = 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 or more. (Round your answers to three decimal places.)

P(0)	=
P(1)	=
P(2)	=
P(3)	=
P(4)	=
P(5 or more)	=

(b) Compute the expected number of colonies E = 100P(r) for r = 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 or more. (Round your answers to one decimal place.)

E(0)	=
E(1)	=
E(2)	=
E(3)	=
E(4)	=
E(5 or more)	=

χ² = E (O-E)²

d.f.	=
χ²	=
