- Open the file and save your working file as a .xlsx file in another folder.
- Use the Data Analysis toolkit to prepare the descriptive statistics of the passenger counts. Place the out at C1.
- In cell F1, create a BIN column starting with 35 and adding 2.5 to each until you get to 60.
- Use the Data Analysis toolkit to prepare a histogram using the Passenger Data as Input and the BIN range you created starting in F1. Does the histogram look generally normal? Visually, perhaps, but we will use a Chi-Squared Goodness of Fit test to determine if the data is normal or not.
- Reference the example 5.41 on page 208 for instructions on constructing a model to test the Chi-Square goodness of fit. The model is shown on page 208, figure 5.28. Build this model and test the passenger data.
- Your spreadsheet should look something like the image shown below (click on the image to open it in a new tab):
