Q13MThe Poisson DistributionFree sample

The booklets produced by a certain publisher contain, on average, 1 incorrect letter per 30 000 letters, and these errors occur randomly. A randomly chosen booklet from this publisher contains 12 500 letters.

Use a suitable approximating distribution to find the probability that this booklet contains at least 2 errors.
