[Solved] MATH1188 Problem set 4 solved

For the question, please follow the file called airplane crashes.txt while reading the text below.

In each year from 1993 to 2012, the number of airplane crashes in airline companies were counted. The data was collected from 14 different airline companies. The numbers of crashes for the airline companies are indicated in 14 columns following the year column. Assume that the number of crashes per airline company per year is a random variable having a Poisson() and that the number of crashes in different airline company or in different years are independent.

(Note: You should implement a code for your calculations for each following subproblem. You are free to use any programming languages (Python, R, C, C++, Java) and their related library.)

• Give a table how many cases occur for all companies between 1993 and 2012 for each number of crashes (# of Crashes).

Hint: When you check the file you will see: # of Crashes = {0, 1, 2, 3, 4}.

• Estimate from the given data.
• Update Table 1 in Table 2 with Poisson predicted cases with the estimated .
• Draw a barplot for the actual cases (Table 2 in column 2) and the predicted cases (Table 2 column 3) with respect to # of crashes. You should put the figure.

Homework #4 2

Table 1: Actual cases

Table 2: Actual vs. Predicted Cases

• According to the barplot in (c), does the poisson distribution fit the data well? Compare the values of the actual cases and the values of the poisson predicted cases, and write your opinions about performance of the distribution.
• According to your estimations above, write your opinions considering your barplot and Table 2. Do you think that airplane transportation is dangerous for us? Whether yes or no, explain your reason.
• Paste your code that you implemented for the subproblems above. Do not forget to write comments on your code. Example:
  • The common code block for all subproblems

Paste here. Your code should read the file and compute other things which the following subproblems need.

• The code block for (a)

Paste here. Your code should compute the values in Table 1 column 2.

• The code block for (b)

Paste here. Your code should compute .

• The code block for (c)

Paste here. Your code should compute the values in Table 2 column 3.

• The code block for (d)

Paste here. Your code should draw the barplot.
