In this question, the Poisson distribution is used.
Poisson distribution:
In a Poisson distribution, the probability that X represents the number of successes of a random variable is given by the following formula:
In which
x is the number of sucesses
e = 2.71828 is the Euler number
is the mean in the given interval.
Parameter of 5.2 per square yard:
This means that
, in which r is the radius.
How large should the radius R of a circular sampling region be taken so that the probability of finding at least one in the region equals 0.99?
We want:

Thus:

We have that:


Then





Thus, the radius should be of at least 0.89.

Theoretical probability is based on the likelihood of events.
if a coin is flipped 20 times, and it has landed on heads 4 times, theres a 50% chance it would land on heads the 5th time.
it could be that heads gets more than tails or it could be vise versa.
The probability of getting two heads is 1 in 4.
It would be 2/4. 2/4 simplifies to 1/2.
