(a) A high-volume printer produces minor print-quality errors on a test pattern of 1000 pages of text
according to a Poisson distribution with a mean of 0.4 per page.
i. Why are the numbers of errors on each page independent random variables? (3 marks)
ii What is the mean number of pages with errors (one or more)? (3 marks)
iii Approximate the probability that more than 350 pages contain errors (one or more).

(a) The average local cell phone call length was reported to be 2.27 minutes. A random sample of 30
phone calls showed an average of 2.98 minutes in length with a standard deviation of 0.98 minute.
i. Using the critical value approach, at = 0.05 can it be concluded that the) average exceeds the
population average? (6 marks)
ii. Calculate the power of the test for detecting a true mean of local cell phone call is 2.5 minutes in
length. (8 marks)
iii. What is the P-value for the test in part (i)? (3 marks)
