The number of absences per week by workers at a factory has the distribution $$\(\operatorname{Po}(2.1)\)$$. Following a change in working conditions, the management wished to test whether the mean number of absences has decreased. They found that, in a randomly chosen 3-week period, there were exactly 2 absences. Carry out the test at the $$\(10 \%\)$$ significance level. ........................................................................................................................................................ ........................................................................................................................................................ ........................................................................................................................................................ ........................................................................................................................................................ ........................................................................................................................................................ ........................................................................................................................................................ ........................................................................................................................................................ ........................................................................................................................................................ ........................................................................................................................................................ ........................................................................................................................................................ ........................................................................................................................................................ ........................................................................................................................................................ ........................................................................................................................................................ ........................................................................................................................................................ ........................................................................................................................................................

Answer:

\( \mathrm{H}_{0}: \lambda=6.3 \)
\( \mathrm{H}_{1}: \lambda<6.3 \)
\( \mathrm{P}(X \leqslant 2)=\mathrm{e}^{-6.3}\left(1+6.3+\frac{6.3^{2}}{2 !}\right) \)
\( \mathrm{P}(X \leqslant 2)=\mathrm{e}^{-6.3}\left(1+6.3+\frac{6.3^{2}}{2 !}\right) \)
\( =0.0498\quad or\quad 0.0499 \)
'0.0498' < \( 0.1 \)
There is evidence that mean number of absences has decreased.
