Question

In the textile industry, a manufacturer is interested in the number of blemishes or flaws occurring in each 100 feet of material. The probability distribution that has the greatest chance of applying to this situation is the.

A.normal distribution
B.binomila distribution
C.Poisson distribution
D.uniform distribution
E.none of the above

Answer 1

c) Poisson distribution.

Explanation:

The Poisson distribution is a distribution that we can use when we need to know how many times an specific event takes place in a fixed amount of time or space.

In this case, the manufacturer is interested in the number of flaws that occur in a fixed amount of material (in this case 100 feet), therefore, the most adequate probability distribution that he should apply to this situation would be the Poisson distribution.
