Homework Statement
The number of sales made by a used car salesman, per day, is a Poisson random variable with parameter \lambda. Given a random sample of the number of sales he made on n days, what is the most powerful test of the hypothesis Ho: p = 0.10 versus Ha: p = 0.25, where p is the probability he makes at least one sale (per day)?
Homework Equations
f\left(x;\lambda\right) = \frac{e^{-\lambda}\lambda^{x}}{x!}
The Attempt at a Solution
I applied the single likelihood ratio test which Rejects Ho if \lambda \leq k which I found equivalent in saying to reject Ho if \sum Xi \leq k' where k' is given by P\left[\sum Xi \leq k'\right] = \alpha
But it seems not correct since the hypotheses involve p and not the parameter \lambda. Please help me solve this problem.
