Question: The response time of a computer system to a request for a certain type of information is hypothesized to have an exponential distribution with parameter

The response time of a computer system to a request for a certain type of information is hypothesized to have an exponential distribution with parameter l 5 1 sec (so if X 5 response time, the pdf of X under H0 is f0(x) = e-x for x ‰¥ 0).
a. If you had observed X1, X2, ... , Xn and wanted to use the chi-squared test with five class intervals having equal probability under H0, what would be the resulting class intervals?
b. Carry out the chi-squared test using the following data resulting from a random sample of 40 response times:
