A book containing 150 pages has 100 misprints. Find the probability that a particular
page contains (a) no misprints, (b) 5 misprints, (c) at least 2 misprints, (d) more than 1
misprint.
Let "X=" the number of misprints per page: "X\\sim Po(\\lambda)."
"\\lambda=\\dfrac{100}{150}=\\dfrac{2}{3}"
(a)
(b)
(c)
"=1-\\dfrac{e^{-2\/3}(\\dfrac{2}{3})^0}{0!}-\\dfrac{e^{-2\/3}(\\dfrac{2}{3})^1}{1!}\\approx0.144305"
(d)
"=1-\\dfrac{e^{-2\/3}(\\dfrac{2}{3})^0}{0!}-\\dfrac{e^{-2\/3}(\\dfrac{2}{3})^1}{1!}\\approx0.144305"
