It is possible for a computer to pick up an erroneous signal that does not show up as an error on the screen. The error is called a silent error. A particular terminal is defective and when while using the system "word processor" it introduces a silent paging error with probability 0.1. The word processor is used 20 times during a given week.Then the probability that no silent paging errors occus is
