Answer :
The probability that a carpet that is 7 ft × 12 ft contains no flaws is 0.732
What is the Poisson Distribution Formula?
The Normal, Binomial, and Poisson Distributions are the three types of continuous and discrete data-based distributions used in probability and statistics. The distribution of unusual occurrences is another name for the Poisson distribution. This is mostly used to forecast the likelihood of future events based on how frequently the past events occurred. It offers the chance that a specific number of events might happen during a particular time frame.
The formula for Poisson distribution is given below:
P(x) = (e^-x * m^x) / x!
Here we have,
flaws in a carpet tend to occur randomly and independently at a rate of one every 270 square feet
Given the dimensions of carpet = 7 feet × 12 feet
=> area of the carpet = 84 feet²
=> the expected mean of defects m = [1/270]*84 = 0.311
Now use the Poisson formula
P[x] = e^-m × m^x / x!
=> P(x = 0) = e^-(0.31) × 0.31^(0) / 0!
= (0.732 × 1)/1 = 0.732
Therefore,
The probability that a carpet that is 7 ft × 12 ft contains no flaws is 0.732
