Suppose that a book of 600 pages contains 40 print mistakes. Assume that these errors are randomly distributed throughout the book and the number of errors per page follows a Poisson distribution. The probability that all the 10 pages selected at random with no print mistakes is
Options
- A1 3 e⁻¹
- B2 e^ -1 / 3
- Ce^ -2 / 3
- D1 3 e⁻²
Correct answer
C. e^ -2 / 3
Step-by-step solution
Assuming errors are randomly distributed throughout the book and x , the number of errors per page has a poisson distribution P(X=x)= e^ - ^x x ! (x=0,1,2, . Probability of mistakes = 40 600 = 1 15 Mean =n p=10 1 15 = 2 3 p(X=0)= e^ - ^0 0 ! =e^ - =e^ -2 / 3
