In a book of $500$ pages, it is found that there are $250$ typing errors. Assume that Poisson law holds for the number of errors per page. Then, the probability that a random sample of $2$ pages will contain no error, is:

  • A
    $e^{-0.3}$
  • B
    $e^{-0.5}$
  • C
    $e^{-1}$
  • D
    $e^{-2}$
