professional proofreader has a 96% chance of detecting an error in a piece of written work (other than misspellings, double words, and similar errors that are machine detected). A work contains four errors. a. Find the probability that the proofreader will miss at least one of them. b. Show that two such proofreaders working independently have a 99.96% chance of detecting an error in a piece of written work.
