Hawaii’s fourteen-thousand-foot Mauna Loa is one of the world’s most active volcanoes. Between 1832 and 1950, it erupted thirty-seven times, which translates to a rate of 0.027 times per month. Listed below are the thirty-six intervals (in months) that elapsed between those thirty-seven eruptions (113):

Can it be argued that the times Mauna Loa erupted are consistent with a series of events satisfying the Poisson model? Answer the question by constructing and interpreting an appropriate graph.
