Determining poisson random variable

Reference no: EM1398254

A manuscript is sent to a typing firm consisting of typists A, B, and C. If it is typed by A, then the number of errors made is a Poisson random variable with mean 2.6; if typed by B, then the number of errors is a Poisson random variable with mean 3; and if typed by C, then it is a Poisson random variable with mean 3.4. Let X denote the number of errors in the typed manuscript. Assume that each typist is equally likely to do the work.
