Answer:

391 chips

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a Poisson distribution problem with the formula;

P(X = k) = (e^(-λ) × λ^(k))/k!

Let n be the number of chips she puts in the dough.

Since she makes chocolate chip cookies in batch of 100, then the mean number of chips is n/100.

So, λ = n/100

Now, we want to find how many chips should she put in the dough so that the probability your cookie contains no chip is 0.02.

Thus;

P(X = 0) = (e^(-λ) × λ^(0))/0! = 0.02

This gives;

e^(-λ) = 0.02

Putting λ = n/100, we have;

e^(-n/100) = 0.02

-n/100 = In 0.02

-n/100 = -3.912

n = -100 × -3.912

n ≈ 391 chips

I don't know for sure, but there are a bunch of different options. Here they are:

Step-by-step explanation:

1 + 39

2 + 38

3 + 37

4 + 36  

5 + 35

6 + 34

7 + 33

8 + 32

9 + 31

10 + 30

11 + 29

12 + 28

13 + 27

14 + 26

15 + 25

16 + 24

17 + 23

18 + 22

19 + 21

20 + 20

Those are the options of how many volcanoes that they could have visited. They could have visited 23 volcanoes in Alaska and 17 in California. Who knows?

California only has 20 volcanoes, and Alaska has 40, so your answer will be one of these options. Hope this helps!
