Fanfold paper for computer printers is made by putting perforations every 30 cm in a continuous roll
Question:
Fanfold paper for computer printers is made by putting perforations every 30 cm in a continuous roll of paper. A box of fanfold paper contains 2000 sheets. State the length of the continuous roll from which the box of paper is produced. The manufacturers claim that faults occur at random and at an average rate of one per 240 metres of paper. State an appropriate distribution for the number of faults per box of paper. Find the probability that a box of paper has no faults and also the probability that it has more than four faults. Two copies of a report which runs to 100 sheets per copy are printed on this sort of paper. Find the probability that there are no faults in either copy of the report and also the probability that just one copy is faulty. (MEI)
