Proofreading and Repair

REFLECT AND APPLY Your book contains about 2 million characters (letters, spaces, and punctuation marks). If you could type with the accuracy with which the prokaryote E. coli incorporates, proofreads, and repairs bases in replication (about one uncorrected error in 109 to 1010 bases), how many such books would you have to type before an uncorrected error is “permitted”? (Assume that the error rate is one in 1010 bases.)
