(a) A statistical instructor has observed that the number of typographical errors in new editions of textbooks varies considerably from book to book. After some analysis, he concludes that the number of errors is Poisson distributed with a mean of 1.5 per 100 pages. The instructor randomly selects 100 pages of new book. What is the probability that there are no typographical errors? (b) Refer to (a). Suppose that the instructor has just received a copy of a new statistics book. He notices that there are 400 pages. i) What is the probability that there are no typos? ii) What is the probability that there are five or fewer typos?

The manager of a restaurant believes that waiters and waitresses who introduce themselves by telling customers their names will get larger tips than those who don't. In fact, she claims that the average tip for the former group is 17% while that of the latter is only 12%. If tips are normally distributed with a standard deviation of 9%. what is the probability that in a random sample of 13 tips recorded from waiters and waitresses who introduce themselves and 13 tips from waiters and waitresses who don't, the mean of the former will exceed that of the latter? Probability =
