A 15 mile section of Kapayapaan Road had the following reported accidents for 6 years from 1992. It is required to compute the accident rates of all accidents
The number of crashes involving trucks (“truck crashes”) has continuously increased as thenumber of truck increases. To analyze the association of truck crash rates with the number oflanes, truck crash rates were compared between two-lane and multi-lane highways as shown inthe table below. Is the standard deviation of truck crash rates significantly higher for two-lanehighways than multi-lane highways?Note: Final answer should be either “The standard deviation of truck crash rates is significantlyhigher for two-lane than multi-lane highways” or “The standard deviation of truck crash rates isnot significantly higher for two-lane than multi-lane highways”.Truck crash rates (crashes/million vehicle-km)Site No. Two-lane highways Multi-lane highways12345670.2560.3420.8421.0210.3610.2620.8610.1880.3120.4210.2850.2250.183
