题目
A certain website receives an average of hits per hour. In the past the value of was . After making some improvements, the owner of the website wishes to test whether the value of has increased. He chooses a 10-minute period at random and finds that there were hits during this period. You may assume that the number of hits the website receives in any given time period follows a Poisson distribution.
(a) Carry out the test at the significance level.
(b) Explain whether it is possible that a Type I error or a Type II error or both may have been made in carrying out the test.
题目中文翻译
某网站平均每小时有 次访问。过去 的值为 。对网站进行一些改进后,网站所有者想检验 的值是否增加。他随机选取一段 分钟的时间,发现这段时间内共有 次访问。可以假设网站在任一给定时间段内收到的访问次数服从泊松分布。
(a) 在 的显著性水平下进行检验。
(b) 说明在进行该检验时,是否可能犯第一类错误、第二类错误,或同时犯这两类错误。
原卷通用作答要求
Answer all questions. You should use a calculator where appropriate.
You must show all necessary working clearly; no marks will be given for unsupported answers from a calculator.
Give non-exact numerical answers correct to 3 significant figures, or 1 decimal place for angles in degrees, unless a different level of accuracy is specified in the question.
请回答所有题目。适当时应使用计算器。必须清楚展示所有必要的计算过程;仅给出计算器答案而没有过程,不予评分。除非题目另有精度要求,非精确数值答案保留 3 位有效数字,以度为单位的角度保留 1 位小数。

(a)
解法一
思路

假设参数使用每小时平均点击数,实际观测却只有十分钟;在原假设下将 Poisson 参数除以六,再计算至少六次的右尾概率。

Test
where is the population mean number of website hits per hour. Under , the number of hits in ten minutes has distribution
For the observation ,
Since , do not reject . There is insufficient evidence at the significance level that the population mean hourly hit rate has increased.
(b)

思路

本次没有拒绝原假设,所以不可能是第一类错误;若真实点击率已经增加,则可能是第二类错误。

Since was not rejected, a Type I error cannot have been made: that would require rejecting a true .
A Type II error may have been made if the true mean hourly hit rate has increased but the test failed to detect this increase. Thus only a Type II error is possible for the decision reached in (a).
