6 The number of cases of asthma per month at a clinic has a Poisson distribution. In the past the mean has been 5.3 cases per month. A new treatment is introduced. In order to test at the \(5 \%\) significance level whether the mean has decreased, the number of cases in a randomly chosen month is noted.

1. Find the critical region for the test and, given that the number of cases is 2 , carry out the test.
2. Explain the meaning of a Type I error in this context and state the probability of a Type I error.
3. At another clinic the mean number of cases of asthma per month has the independent distribution \(\mathrm { Po } ( 13.1 )\). Assuming that the mean for the first clinic is still 5.3, use a suitable approximating distribution to estimate the probability that the total number of cases in the two clinics in a particular month is more than 20.
