The arrival of students to a class was measured as listed below. Sketch an interarrival time histogram for the data, using integer bins (for example 12 through 12.9999999). Determine the most likely time at which the next student would arrive at class if the random number 0.28 were used.
Note that you can cut and paste the data shown below into Excel, or any spreadsheet. From there you calculate the interarrival times, and can then “COPY” (not cut) the results and then “PASTE SPECIAL” them as “VALUES” into another column before you will be able to sort them into bins. You will not be able to “sort” the original interarrival times you calculate, because they are not numbers, they are the results of “formulas.”
