Poisson Tests One-Sample
The One-sample Poisson Test test is used to test if the sample was drawn from a population with a Poisson Rate equal to some hypothesized value. Exact Poisson tests are performed.
Hypotheses
The following hypotheses may be tested:
Where is the true population Rate from which the sample was drawn, and is the hypothesized population value.
Assumptions
- The sample has been randomly drawn from the population (Critical)
- The population may be modeled with a Poisson distribution (Critical)

Output
Note
The p-value is flagged with an asterisk (*) when p <= alpha.
