  1. Amazon owns trucks used for cargo shipment. In the course of their activities, Amazon sustains losses in the form of property damages to their trucks. Assume that Amazon owns a truck station located in Pennsylvania (PA) and also another station in New Jersey (NJ).

The PA station has 3200 trucks in total, while the NJ station has 4800 trucks in total.

Amazon has the following sample for the reported number of accidents per truck in the PA station and NJ station, respectively.
