A textile manufacturer has historically found an average of 0.1 flaws per square meter of cloth. Let X be the number of flaws in a bolt of 2000 square meters of cloth. How is X distributed

Poisson distribution

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

There is an average of 0.1 flaws per square meter of cloth

So X = the number of flaws in a bolt of 2000 square meters of cloth.

The objective is to deduce how is X distributed.

Well, we can say X undergoes Poisson distribution.

Because, the flaw can be randomly positioned on the cloth and also dictate  how many times the event is likely to occur within a specified period of time.

Most time Poisson distribution is majorly used for independent events.

An independent is an event which contains two types of events occuring at a time say event and event and the event does not in any way affects the occurrence of the event .
