Fires in passenger trains are assumed to occur according to a Poisson process. During the period January 1, 1986 to December 31, 1994, there were 67 fires in passenger trains in Sweden. The total distance traveled by passenger trains was 544 × 106km. Estimate the intensity of passenger train fires (per train km), and construct a two-sided confidence interval with approximate confidence level 95%. You may use the normal approximation.
