Note: Solve the whole question with proper explanation. I want answer within 30 minutes. Question : Poisson Statistics. A certain material is known to have an average defect concentration of 106 defects/cm3 . A small sample of the material, cubic in shape, with an edge of 1 micron, is taken from the material. What is the probability that there are no defects?, one defect, two defects, or at least one defect (one defect or more)?
Continuous Probability Distributions
Probability distributions are of two types, which are continuous probability distributions and discrete probability distributions. A continuous probability distribution contains an infinite number of values. For example, if time is infinite: you could count from 0 to a trillion seconds, billion seconds, so on indefinitely. A discrete probability distribution consists of only a countable set of possible values.
Normal Distribution
Suppose we had to design a bathroom weighing scale, how would we decide what should be the range of the weighing machine? Would we take the highest recorded human weight in history and use that as the upper limit for our weighing scale? This may not be a great idea as the sensitivity of the scale would get reduced if the range is too large. At the same time, if we keep the upper limit too low, it may not be usable for a large percentage of the population!
