Misprints on Manuscript Pages In a 400-page manuscript, there are 200 randomly distributed misprints. If a page is selected, find the probability that it has 1 misprint.

Suppose in 400 pages of a book there are 100 printing errors that are distributed as a Poisson random variable. What is the probability that a page observed at random will contain at least three printing errors? The probability that an observed page will contain at least three printing errors is . (Round your answer to four decimal places as needed.)

Distribution of Typos The number of typographical errors per page of a certain newspaper has a Poisson distribution, and there is an average of 1.5 errors per page. (a) What is the probability that a randomly selected page is error-free? (b) What is the probability that a page has either two or three errors? (c) What is the probability that a page has at least four errors?
