TypePoisson hypothesis test

  1. Each day a restaurant opens between 11 am and 11 pm . During its opening hours, the restaurant receives calls for reservations at an average rate of 6 per hour.
    1. Find the probability that the restaurant receives exactly 1 call for a reservation between 6 pm and 7 pm .
    The restaurant distributes leaflets to local residents to try and increase the number of calls for reservations. After distributing the leaflets, it records the number of calls for reservations it receives over a 90 minute period. Given that it receives 14 calls for reservations during the 90 minute period,
  2. test, at the \(5 \%\) level of significance, whether the rate of calls for reservations has increased from 6 per hour. State your hypotheses clearly.
