What distribution is described in this definition: If there are only two possible outcomes when a procedure is performed, it is called an experiment or a trial. We choose one of the two outcomes as a “success” and the other one as a “failure.” can have only two possible values: 0 for ‘failure’ and 1 for ‘success’, and their probabilities are fixed but usually unknown

What formula would you use to solve this problem: Airline passengers arrive randomly and independently at the passenger-screening facility at a major international airport. The mean arrival rate is 10 passengers per minute. What is the probability of no arrivals in a one-minute period?

Poisson

Binomial

Hypergeometric

What formula would you use to solve this problem: A shipment of 10 items has two defective and eight non-defective units. In the inspection of the shipment, a sample of units will be selected and tested. If a defective unit is found, the shipment of 10 units will be rejected. If a sample of three items is selected, what is the probability that the shipment will be rejected?

Poisson

Hypergeometric

Binomial

What formula would you use to solve this problem: An automobile manufacturer buys computer chips from a supplier. The supplier sends a shipment containing 5% defective chips. Each chip chosen from this shipment has a probability of 0.05 of being defective, and each automobile uses 12 chips selected independently. What is the probability that all 12 chips in a car will work properly?
