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
