A statistician believes that the number of telephone calls received by an advice centre in a 10 -minute interval can be modelled by the Poisson distribution \(\mathrm{Po}(1.9)\). The number of calls received in a randomly chosen 10 -minute interval was recorded on each of 100 days. The results are summarised in the table, together with some of the expected frequencies corresponding to the distribution \(\operatorname{Po}(1.9)\).
(a) Complete the table.
(b) Carry out a goodness of fit test, at the \(10 \%\) significance level, to determine whether the statistician's belief is reasonable.
