Answer:
P(X=2)=0.0446
Step-by-step explanation:
If X follows a Poisson distribution, the probability p to have x pits in 1 cm2 is calculated as:
[tex]p(x)=\frac{e^{-m}*m^x}{x!}[/tex]
Where m is the mean of pits per cm2, so, replacing m by 6 pits per cm2, we get that the probability is equal to:
[tex]p(x)=\frac{e^{-6}*6^x}{x!}[/tex]
Now, the probability P(x=2) that there are 2 pits in a 1 cm2 is calculated as:
[tex]p(x=2)=\frac{e^{-6}*6^2}{2!}\\p(x=2)=0.0446[/tex]
