Public safety officers say that the occurrence of accidents along the highway is randomly (uniformly) distributed, but the news media say otherwise. The Delhi Department of Public Safety published records for month of June. These records indicated the point at which 30 accidents involving an injury or death occured as follows ( the data points represent the distance from the city limits of Mumbai):
88.3 | 40.7 | 36.3 | 27.3 | 36.8 | 91.7 | 67.3 | 7.0 | 45.2 | 23.3 |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
98.8 | 90.1 | 17.2 | 23.7 | 97.4 | 32.4 | 87.8 | 69.8 | 62.6 | 99.7 |
20.6 | 73.1 | 21.6 | 6.0 | 45.3 | 76.6 | 73.2 | 27.3 | 87.6 | 87.2 |
Use the Kolmogorov-Smimov goodness of fit test to determine whether the distribution of location of accidents is uniformly distributed for the month of June. Use a level of significane of α = 0.05.
