4 The number of accidents per month at a certain road junction has a Poisson distribution with mean 4.8. A new road sign is introduced warning drivers of the danger ahead, and in a subsequent month 2 accidents occurred.
- A hypothesis test at the \(10 \%\) level is used to determine whether there were fewer accidents after the new road sign was introduced. Find the critical region for this test and carry out the test.
- Find the probability of a Type I error.
\(5 X\) and \(Y\) are independent random variables each having a Poisson distribution. \(X\) has mean 2.5 and \(Y\) has mean 3.1. - Find \(\mathrm { P } ( X + Y > 3 )\).
- A random sample of 80 values of \(X\) is taken. Find the probability that the sample mean is less than 2.4.
