Suppose the number of babies born during an 8-hour shift at a hospital's maternity wing follows a Poisson distribution with a mean of 4 an hour. Some people believe that the presence of a full moon increases the number of births that take place. Suppose during the presence of a full moon, County Hospital experienced eight consecutive hours with more than five births. Based on this fact, comment on the belief that the full moon increases the number of births.
◦ The belief is not supported as the probability of observing this many births is 0.00000457.
◦ The belief is supported as the probability of observing this many births would be 0.215.
