A typist makes an average of 5 typo errors per page that she types. If the number of errors per each typed page can be modeled according to the Poisson distribution, what is the probability that she will make more than 3 typo errors in the next page?
Average = 5 type errors per page
Hence,
P(More than 3 typo)
= 1 - P(Less than or equal to 3 typo)
= 1 - [P(0) + P(1) + P(2) + P(3)]
= 0.7350

6. A certain typing agency employs 3 typists. The average number of errors per article is 2.2 when typed by the first typist, 2.7 when typed by the second, and 3.1 when typed by the third. If your article is equally likely to be typed by any of the three typists, approximate the probability that it will have no errors. Again assume that for each typist the number of errors follows a Poisson distribution.
On average, a textbook author makes 2.5 word-processing errors per page on the first draft of her textbook. (a) What is the probability that on the next page she will make 3 or more errors? (b) What is the probability that a randomly selected page is error free?
The mean number of errors per page made by a member of the word processing pool for a large company is thought to be 1.8 with the number of errors distributed according to a Poisson distribution. If a page is examined, what is the probability that more than two errors will be observed? The probability that more than two errors will be observed is ___________?
5. The expected number of typographical errors on a random page of a certain magazine is 0.4. What is the probability that the next page you read contains a total of 2 or more typographical errors? Assume that the number of errors follow a Poisson distribution.
A writer makes on average one typographical error every page. The writer has landed a 3-page article in an important magazine. If the magazine editor finds any typographical errors, they probably will not ask the writer for any more material. What is the probability that the reporter made no typographical errors for the 3-page article? Use the Poisson distribution and round answer to 4 decimal places.
Suppose an author makes on average one typographical error in every 3 pages he writes. If the number of typos in his next, 300-page book follows a Poisson process, what is approximately the probability that there will be more than 115 typos in this book?
7. An urn contains nine blue balls and six yellow balls. If five balls are selected randomly without being replaced probability that of the balls selected, one of them will be blue and four of them will be yellow? (2 points) N-15 n=5 8. The mean number of errors per page made by a member of the word processing pool for a large company is thought 2.6 with the number of errors distributed according to a Poisson distribution. If a...
Suppose a software company finds that the number of errors in its software per 1,000 lines of code is described by a Poisson distribution. Furthermore, it is found that there is an average of 8 errors per 1,000 lines of code. Letting x denote the number of lines of code between successive errors: (Round your answers to 4 decimal places.) (a) Find the probability that there will be at least 400 lines of code between successive errors in the company's...
3. The number of emails that I get in a weekday can be modeled by a Poisson distribution with an average of 0.2 emails per minute. a) What is the probability that I get no emails in an interval of length 5 minutes? b) What is the probability that I get more than 3 emails in an interval of length 10 minutes?
