The local council claims that the average number of accidents per year on a particular road is $$\(0.8\)$$. Jane claims that the true average is greater than $$\(0.8\)$$. She looks at the records for a random sample of 3 recent years and finds that the total number of accidents during those 3 years was 5. Assume that the number of accidents per year follows a Poisson distribution. Test at the $$\(5 \%\)$$ significance level whether Jane's claim is justified. ................................................................................................................................................ ................................................................................................................................................ ................................................................................................................................................ ................................................................................................................................................ ................................................................................................................................................ ................................................................................................................................................ ................................................................................................................................................ ................................................................................................................................................ ................................................................................................................................................ ................................................................................................................................................
