A manufacturer of cotter pins knows that 5 percent of his product is defective. If he sellseotter pinsin boxes of 100, and guarantees that not more than 4 pins will be defective, what is the approximateprobability that a box will fail to meet the guaranteed quality? (e=0067)(B.Z.U., B.A./B.Sc. 1988)a) Find the mean and the variance of the Poisson distribution. State the relation between(P.U., B.A./B.Sc. 1970)binomial and Poisson distributions.) Given that X has a Poisson distribution with variance 1, calculate P(X=2).Criticise the following statement:

A binomial distribution is used when there are n number of independent trials with equal probability…
