For 1-sample Poisson rate, the hypotheses are as follows.
- Null hypothesis
-
| H0: λ = λ0 |
The population rate of occurrence (λ) equals the hypothesized rate of occurrence (λ0). |
- Alternative hypothesis
- Select one of the following alternative hypotheses.
| H1: λ ≠ λ0 |
The population rate of occurrence (λ) differs from the hypothesized rate of occurrence (λ0). |
| H1: λ > λ0 |
The population rate of occurrence (λ) is greater than the hypothesized rate of occurrence (λ0). |
| H1: λ < λ0 |
The population rate of occurrence (λ) is less than the hypothesized rate of occurrence (λ0). |
