Pusan probabilities are the probability in a defined time period, space, or volume.
00:07
And this particular problem is talking about the probability of finding one misprint per page.
00:15
So we're talking about a defined space.
00:17
So we should start off with what we know.
00:19
We know that there are 400 pages.
00:26
We know scattered about those 400 pages.
00:29
We are going to find 200 misprints.
00:36
And we are trying to figure out if one page is selected at random, what's the probability that there's one misprint? so in this case, our x value is we want one misprint.
00:50
The formula for a poisson probability reads the probability of a given value when you know the average, the lambda, equals e to the negative lambda, times lambda to the x power over x factorial.
01:18
So we've got to figure out what lambda is.
01:21
And the lambda is going to be the average misprint per page...
