Question

A clerk at Agency Y has determined that at speeds of 25 pages per minute it is typical for 3 out of every 100 pages she photocopies to contain some type of printing error. How many pages with printing errors would she expect to find during a 4-hour photocopying session at 25 pages per minute

Answer 1

Answer:

180 pages

Step-by-step explanation:

Since her photocopy session is 25 pages per minute, the total number of pages photocopied in 4 hour session can be calculated as;

number of pages = time × speed

                                 = (4 × 60) × 25

                                 = 240 ×25

                                 = 6000 pages

Thus, number of pages photocopied in 4 hours is 6000.

For every 100 pages, 3 would contain some type of printing error. The number of pages she expect with printing error during 4 hour session can be determined as;

           = $\frac{6000}{100}$ × 3

           = 60 × 3

           = 180 pages

The expected number of pages with printing error during 4 hour photocopying session is 180 pages.
