7 A hospital patient's white blood cell count has a Poisson distribution. Before undergoing treatment the patient had a mean white blood cell count of 5.2. After the treatment a random measurement of the patient's white blood cell count is made, and is used to test at the \(10 \%\) significance level whether the mean white blood cell count has decreased.
- State what is meant by a Type I error in the context of the question, and find the probability that the test results in a Type I error.
- Given that the measured value of the white blood cell count after the treatment is 2 , carry out the test.
- Find the probability of a Type II error if the mean white blood cell count after the treatment is actually 4.1.
