7 In a town, the total number, \(R\), of houses sold during a week by estate agents may be modelled by a Poisson distribution with a mean of 13 .
A new housing development is completed in the town. During the first week in which houses on this development are offered for sale by the developer, the estate agents sell a total of 10 houses.
- Using the \(10 \%\) level of significance, investigate whether the offer for sale of houses by the developer has resulted in a reduction in the mean value of \(R\).
- Determine, for your test in part (a), the critical region for \(R\).
- Assuming that the offer for sale of houses on the new housing development has reduced the mean value of \(R\) to 6.5, determine, for a test at the 10\% level of significance, the probability of a Type II error.
