4 The number of faults in cloth made on a certain machine has a Poisson distribution with mean 2.4 per \(10 \mathrm {~m} ^ { 2 }\). An adjustment is made to the machine. It is required to test at the \(5 \%\) significance level whether the mean number of faults has decreased. A randomly selected \(30 \mathrm {~m} ^ { 2 }\) of cloth is checked and the number of faults is found.
- State suitable null and alternative hypotheses for the test.
- Find the probability of a Type I error.
Exactly 3 faults are found in the randomly selected \(30 \mathrm {~m} ^ { 2 }\) of cloth. - Carry out the test at the \(5 \%\) significance level.
Later a similar test was carried out at the \(5 \%\) significance level, using another randomly selected \(30 \mathrm {~m} ^ { 2 }\) of cloth. - Given that the number of faults actually has a Poisson distribution with mean 0.5 per \(10 \mathrm {~m} ^ { 2 }\), find the probability of a Type II error.
\(5 X\) is a random variable with distribution \(\mathrm { B } ( 10,0.2 )\). A random sample of 160 values of \(X\) is taken. - Find the approximate distribution of the sample mean, including the values of the parameters.
- Hence find the probability that the sample mean is less than 1.8 .
