Suppose that 0.1% (= 0.001) of prescriptions written inMilwaukee contain an error. Find the probability of at least 2prescriptions with an error
(a) in a sample of 6 prescriptions;
(b) in a sample of 6000 prescriptions.
Note. In part (a), the exact probability is small; give it to 8decimal places. In part (b), you should use the Poissonapproximation.
