| Topic | Hypothesis test of a Poisson distribution |
9 The random variable \(R\) has the distribution \(\operatorname { Po } ( \lambda )\). A significance test is carried out at the \(1 \%\) level of the null hypothesis \(\mathrm { H } _ { 0 } : \lambda = 11\) against \(\mathrm { H } _ { 1 } : \lambda > 11\), based on a single observation of \(R\). Given that in fact the value of \(\lambda\) is 14 , find the probability that the result of the test is incorrect, and give the technical name for such an incorrect outcome. You should show the values of any relevant probabilities.
