Statistical Inference — size of a randomized test

Let x1,x2,x3,x4x_1,x_2,x_3,x_4 be a random sample from Poisson distribution with mean λ>0\lambda>0. To test H0:λ=1H_0:\lambda=1 versus H1:λ=1.5H_1:\lambda=1.5, the following randomized test is considered: φ(x)=1\varphi(x)=1 if ∑i=14xi>2\sum_{i=1}^4 x_i>2, 0.10.1 if ∑i=14xi=2\sum_{i=1}^4 x_i=2, 00 if ∑i=14xi<2\sum_{i=1}^4 x_i<2. (Given e−4≈0.0183e^{-4}\approx0.0183 and e−6≈0.0025e^{-6}\approx0.0025.) The size of the randomized test is within the interval:
