1. The mean number of errors per page made by a member of the word processing pool for a large company is thought to be 1.5 with the number of errors distributed according to a Poisson distribution. If three pages are examined, what is the probability that more than 3 errors will be observed?

2. Arrivals to a bank automated teller machine (ATM) are distributed according to a Poisson distribution with a mean equal to three per 15 minutes.

a. Determine the probability that in a given 15-minute segment no customers will arrive at the ATM.

b. What is the probability that fewer than four customers will arrive in a 30-minute segment?

3. Consider a situation in which a used-car lot contains five Fords, four General Motors (GM) cars, and five Toyotas. If five cars are selected at random to be placed on a special sale, what is the probability that three are Fords and two are GMs?
