Discuss how you can discover whether or not a value (number of customers served in a restaurant) follows a statistical distribution.

Fill in the blank(s) with the appropriate word(s).


One way is to know something about the statistical distribution of quantities that behave in a similar way. For example, if we know something about the distribution of service times for customers in a bank or a grocery store, then this information might help us understand the pattern of service times at our restaurant. Another way is to observe and collect data from an actual system similar to ours. For example, we could go to other similar restaurants and measure exactly how long it takes them to serve their customers. If these restaurants are sufficiently similar to ours, then we might be able to discover from these data the statistical distribution of the variable of customer service time.
