The number of errors made per page by a copy typist has a Poisson distribution with mean 0.2. Calculate the following probabilities: a. The typist makes exactly 2 errors on a page. b. The first page typed will contain no error. c. The typist makes at least 3 errors on a page. d. Exactly two of the first five pages typed will contain no error. e. The total number of errors in the first two pages is 2 or less.

The number of typographical errors per page in a statistics textbook has a Poisson distribution. Suppose that 90.4% of the pages have no errors. (a) What is the expected number of errors per page? (b) What is the probability that a page will have at least 2 errors?

In a lengthy manuscript, it is discovered that only $13.5$ percent of the pages contain no typing errors. If we assume that the number of errors per page is a random variable with a Poisson distribution, find the percentage of pages that have exactly one error.
