Discuss the scenarios in which the Poisson distribution is preferable over the Normal distribution for modeling.
💡 Hint: Think of the nature of events.
Given a factory produces 3 defective items per 100 produced, find the probability there are 2 defects in a batch of 200 using the Binomial approximation.
💡 Hint: Calculate the mean defects, then apply Poisson formula.
