1 The number of new enquiries per day at an office has a Poisson distribution. In the past the mean has been 3 . Following a change of staff, the manager wishes to test, at the \(5 \%\) significance level, whether the mean has increased.
- State the null and alternative hypotheses for this test.
The manager notes the number, \(N\), of new enquiries during a certain 6 -day period. She finds that \(N = 25\) and then, assuming that the null hypothesis is true, she calculates that \(\mathrm { P } ( N \geqslant 25 ) = 0.0683\).
- What conclusion should she draw?
