Assume that the number of misprints in a book follows a Poisson distribution with an average of 1 misprint per page. Find the probability of: 1. Exactly 2 misprints on a randomly selected page. 2. Exactly 2 misprints on some page in a textbook that is 350 pages long Can you explain what difference does it make to have 350 pages and no amount of pages specified?

Example 9 A book containing 500 pages has 750 misprints. a. What is the average number of misprints per page? So, the average number of misprints per page is 1.5. b. Find the probability that on page 427, it contains i. No misprints ii. Exactly 4 misprints c. More than the average number of misprints d. Find the probability that pages 450 and 451 will contain no misprints.
