John Thurgood founded a company that translates Chinese books into English. His company is currently testing a computer-based translation service.

The computer error rate is supposed to be an average of 3 per 400 words of translation. Suppose John randomly selects a 1,200-word passage. Assuming that the Poisson distribution applies, if the computer error rate is actually 3 errors per 400 words, determine the probability that no errors will be found.A) 0.0001
  B) 0.0141
  C) 0.0415
  D) 0.4557

Question 2
