John Thurgood founded a company that translates Chinese books into English. His company is currently testing a computer-based translation service. Since Chinese symbols are difficult to translate, John assumes the computer program will make some errors, but then so do human translators. The computer error rate, as promised by the computer program developer, is no more than three errors per 400 words. Suppose John randomly selects a 1200-word passage.

(Assume that it is possible for the computer to make more than one error in translating each word in the passage).
