Question:

Suppose that X1, . . . , Xn form a random sample from the Poisson distribution with unknown mean λ. Let λ0 and λ1 be specified values such that λ1 > λ0 > 0, and suppose that it is desired to test the following simple hypotheses:
H0: λ = λ0,
H1: λ = λ1.
a. Show that the value of α(δ) + β(δ) is minimized by a test procedure which rejects H0 when Xn > c.
b. Find the value of c.
c. For λ0 = 1/4, λ1 = 1/2, and n = 20, determine the minimum value of α(δ) + β(δ) that can be attained. Distribution
The word "distribution" has several meanings in the financial world, most of them pertaining to the payment of assets from a fund, account, or individual security to an investor or beneficiary. Retirement account distributions are among the most...
