NARRBEGIN: Department store
A large department store records the number of returns per day in women's dresses for reasons such as wrong size; husband didn't like it, color, etc. The manager of the women's dresses department recalls from her statistics class in college that the Poisson distribution might describe such events. A random sample of 150 days is taken. The number of returns per day in the sample as well as the observed frequencies are shown below:
NARREND
4. She tests the hypothesis that returns per day are Poisson distributed with a population mean equal to 1.90. Her significance level is 0.05. State the null and alternative hypotheses.
H0: _______________________________________________________________
H1: _______________________________________________________________
ANS:
H0: The sample was drawn from a population that is Poisson distributed with a mean equal to 1.90.;
H1: The sample was not drawn from such population.
PTS: 1 OBJ: Section 13.3
