4 At a power plant, the number of breakdowns per year has a Poisson distribution. In the past the mean number of breakdowns per year has been 4.8. Following some repairs, the management carry out a hypothesis test at the 5\% significance level to determine whether this mean has decreased. If there is at most 1 breakdown in the following year, they will conclude that the mean has decreased.
- State what is meant by a Type I error in this context.
- Find the probability of a Type I error.
- Find the probability of a Type II error if the mean is now 0.9 breakdowns per year.
