📘 Download the Lesson: Further Stats1 – Poisson Distribution: Hypothesis Testing

This A-Level Further Mathematics lesson introduces students to hypothesis testing using the Poisson distribution, a key topic in the Further Statistics 1 module. Designed to build deep understanding and exam confidence, the lesson walks students through real-world contexts—such as call centres, email spam filters, and proofreading errors—to frame meaningful statistical hypotheses and conduct tests at the 5% level of significance.

Students learn to:
• Formulate null and alternative hypotheses using Poisson parameters.
• Interpret problem contexts into statistical models.
• Use cumulative Poisson probabilities to test hypotheses.
• Justify conclusions in context with appropriate statistical language.

🧠 Each example is scaffolded to develop fluency in applying the Poisson distribution to hypothesis testing scenarios, with clear worked solutions and space for student practice.
