7 The number of cars caught speeding on a certain length of motorway is 7.2 per day, on average. Speed cameras are introduced and the results shown in the following table are those from a random selection of 40 days after this.
| Number of cars caught speeding | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 |
| Number of days | 5 | 7 | 8 | 10 | 5 | 2 | 3 |
- Calculate unbiased estimates of the population mean and variance of the number of cars per day caught speeding after the speed cameras were introduced.
- Taking the null hypothesis \(\mathrm { H } _ { 0 }\) to be \(\mu = 7.2\), test at the \(5 \%\) level whether there is evidence that the introduction of speed cameras has resulted in a reduction in the number of cars caught speeding.
- State what is meant by a Type I error in words relating to the context of the test in part (ii). Without further calculation, illustrate on a suitable diagram the region representing the probability of this Type I error.
