Question 1189633: Coin piler is a typesetter who on the average 0.5 error per page, what is the
Probability that she will make no error in the first t = 10 pages?
What is probability that she will make exactly 5 error in the first 10 pages?

Answer by Boreal(15235)   (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
probability of 0 errors for this Poisson distribution is e^(-0.5)*0.5^0*0!=0.6065
-
for 10 pages is is 0.6065^10=0.0067,
Also can use Poisson of parameter 5 and looks at probability of 0 errors. Just multiply the Poisson parameter by 5 pages, since the Poisson parameter is proportional to the amount of time or chances.
this is e^(-5)*5^0*0!=0.0067
