Typographic errors in a text are either nonword errors (as when "the" is typed as "teh") or word errors that result in a real but incorrect word. Spell-checking software will catch nonword errors but not word errors. Human proofreaders catch 70% of word errors. You ask a fellow student to proofread an essay in which you have deliberately made 15 word errors. What is the smallest number of misses m with P(X ≥ m) no larger than 0.05? You might consider m or more misses as evidence that a proofreader actually catches fewer than 70% of word errors.
