Question

A first draft of a 200-page manuscript has 16 typos that are spread randomly across the pages. Assume the number of typos per page follows the Poisson distribution. Complete parts a through d. a. What is the probability that there is exactly one typo in the first 20 pages? 0.3230 (Round to four decimal places as needed.) b. What is the probability that there is exactly one typo in the first 40 pages? (Round to four decimal places as needed.)

Step 1

Given that there are 16 typos spread across 200 pages, the average number of typos per page is calculated as follows: \[ \lambda = \frac{16}{200} = 0.08 \] Show more…
