Question by mr. 205: A secretary makes an average of 1.7 typing errors per page of copy. What is the probability that a randomly s?
A secretary makes an average of 1.7 typing errors per page of copy. What is the probability that a randomly selected page of copy typed by this secretary will have 4 typing errors?

Best answer:

Answer by Adam
You can use a Poisson approximation, since the probability of a mistake is low. The probability of 4 errors on one page is therefore e^-4 * 1.7^4 / 4!.

Lurking under my desk Project 365 Day 278

Lurking under my desk Project 365 Day 278
printer price per page

Image by Keith Williamson
Those of you who have followed this project 365 may recall seeing an Epson colour laser printer under my desk on day 96 www.flickr.com/photos/elwillo/3533083088/.

Well a few months back it started playing up. Now and over again it would fail to photograph properly first time a job was sent to it. The paper would stick on its way out and only a feint cyan image would have in black and white. Following or third go, it would photograph but the job would have started part way down the paper. Only with persistence was I able to get a proper photograph out of it.

Over time the conundrum has got of poorer quality to the point where eventually, if I was lucky, a proper photograph would come out at all.

I know that my friend Pete would have stripped the printer down and at least tried to remedy the fault but I just don’t have his skills and knowledge. So my recourse was to order a new printer which came days gone by.

Since I already have a excellent inkjet printer for colour, I chose to buy a black and white laser for three reasons:
a) replacing the toner for a colour laser is outlandishly expensive
b) price for price, black and white lasers are much quicker than colour ones
and c) they are less complicated and so therefore should be more reliable.

The Epson had to pass the paper four times to photograph each of the colours. This one passes it once.

This one has a claimed speed of about 7 seconds to first photograph and then up to 33 pages per minute.

I can’t testify for the following claim yet but I do know that by the time I have reached down to collect it, the first page has already in black and white out

Brazilian Street Kid Publishes Inspirational Book with Help from American Professional Athlete







Folsom, CA (PRWEB) September 26, 2010

Life on the streets of Brazil’s third largest city is far from simple. Approximately 5 million people inhabit Belo Horizonte, and the impoverished masses stay in slums that line the city’s mountainside bounds. These shanty communities are called “favelas” in Portuguese. Many favela children wind up effective the streets to bring home money to feed their families, and often to support their parents’ addictions. Most of the children who work in the streets one day choose not to return home at all.

Sidney Pereira de Silva e Souza was one of those favela children. At only six years ancient he was forced to work alone in the streets to support his large family and alcoholic member of the clergy. He soon fled from his abusive home to sleep in abandoned buildings, bus stops and on park benches, along with Brazil’s estimated 1 to 8 million other street children.

There Sidney found an entirely new world – a world run by children and cared for by no one. This new world embraced him, incorporating him into an orchestrated cycle that churns out hardened criminals, junkies and corpses.

By the time Sidney was 11 years ancient, he had been in and out of juvenile institutions. He was a drug addict, thief and gang member. He had escaped gang warfare, corrupt police and murderous vigilante squads. He had learned every survival tactic the streets had to offer — survival tactics that were slowly killing him.

Then one day he heard about a group home run by international Christian establishment, Youth With a Mission (YWAM). Renowned as “The Rescue House,” it was a two-week program for detoxing street kids who wanted to leave the streets. If they made it through two weeks without glue, paint thinner, alcohol or other drugs, and if they demonstrated at least a semblance of respect for rules and structure, they would then go into a more long term solution, “The Refurbishment House.”

To most street kids, it was simply a safe place they could go to every now and then for food, a shower and clean clothes. The majority of them never intended to leave the fake freedom the streets provided them. Fortunately, the leader of the Rescue House (a former street kid himself) recognized Sidney’s desire to escape street life and offered him a room.

It was a tough two weeks, but Sidney made it to the Refurbishment House, where he was introduced to missionaries from all over the world. It was there that he met the soon-to-be wife of pro athlete Damon J. Smith, who was visiting the house on a fleeting term mission trip. At the time, Sidney was seventeen years ancient and had already traveled to the United States, Papua New Guinea and Singapore with missionaries he met at the house. He spoke fluent English and earned grades at the top of his high school class. She was so impressed by the young man’s ambition that she left him a copy of Smith’s sports motivational book, Don’t Stop the Swagger: Preparing the Mind, Body and Soul for Peak Performance. Sidney finished the book, contacted Smith via email and the two forged an immediate friendship.

“We connected right off the bat,” Smith said about his first friend from Sidney. “After writing my book about all these people who had overcome tremendous obstacles to achieve their life’s purpose, here we had this kid from an entirely different part of the world who embodied the concept of overcoming. He was like a walking example of perseverance. It was a natural progression to go down there and see what we could do to help push him forward.”

Damon was no weirder to helping others reach their goals in life. After transitioning out of pro football and into corporate America, Damon started mentoring high school athletes on the road to college scholarships. He often spoke to youth groups, college organizations and business groups, expressing the motivational message of endurance and work ethic found in his book.

Over the next year, Smith and his fiance returned to Brazil twice to shoot a documentary about Sidney and other street children at the YWAM house. They kept in close friend, and Sidney expressed his desire to write his life tale to inspire street children around the world and educate those who don’t know the cycle of poverty in Latin America.

About a year after they released the documentary, Smith received an email from the young man with a large attachment. It was a manuscript of his life tale, passionately written in English that would rival most American high school students. After a year of editing, drafting, re-drafting, and re-editing, Sidney’s tale emerged in the form of a complete memoir, Rescued to Tell: Diary of a Street Kid.

As a young adult, Sidney travels the world with the mission team that brought Damon and his fiance to Belo Horizonte. Based in Campinas, Brazil, the team makes regular trips throughout South America, Africa, Europe and the United States, ministering to the lost and destitute, training church outreach teams, and teaching new recruits how to live life daily with a higher purpose through serving others.

Now that the book is out, Damon and Sidney take turns inspiring each other. Sidney’s dream was to publish his tale and travel the world. And Damon had a dream of his own involving a lifelong passion for a sport he never had the chance to pursue in his youth.

When he stopped playing ball, Damon dreamed of becoming the first person ever to cross over from professional football to professional motocross. It was a tough transition, but with trademark diligence he proved to people of all ages and backgrounds that they can achieve anything they place their minds to. Months after releasing “Rescued to Tell,” Damon earned his professional motocross ticket and lined up to ride among the world’s top racers.    

Racing alongside factory riders with corporate sponsors emblazoned on their bikes and clothing, Damon humbly pursued his goal with a unique sponsorship of his own. On either side of his bike reads in bold letters: “Don’t Stop the Swagger” and on the other, “Rescued to Tell.”

Damon J. Smith Enterprises houses the media and athletic achievements of Damon J. Smith: Inspiring Minds Publications, The Damon J. Smith Radio Show, and The MX Show. He currently resides in Folsom, California, and is available for speaking engagements, interviews, and athletic consulting.

Sidney Pereira de Silva e Souza is currently touring the United States and will be available for interviews and speaking engagements in the U.S. until December 2010.

To schedule an interview with either Damon or Sidney, please friend Taryn Smith.
