The number of typing errors made by a typist has a Poisson distribution with an average of three errors per page. If more than three errors appear on a given page, the typist must retype the whole page. What is the probability that a randomly selected page does not need to be retyped

0.6472 = 64.72% probability that a randomly selected page does not need to be retyped.

Step-by-step explanation:

In a Poisson distribution, the probability that X represents the number of successes of a random variable is given by the following formula:

In which

x is the number of sucesses

e = 2.71828 is the Euler number

is the mean in the given interval.

Poisson distribution with an average of three errors per page

This means that

What is the probability that a randomly selected page does not need to be retyped?

Probability of at most 3 errors, so:

In which

Then

0.6472 = 64.72% probability that a randomly selected page does not need to be retyped.

2 is the final ! : )
