Maxine · Answer 1

b. Binomial distribution.

Step-by-step explanation:

As a manufacturer is interested in the number of blemishes or flaws occurring every 100 feet of material which shows that only two possible outcomes with fixed number of trials are present here, so the probability distribution that has the greatest chance of applying to this situation is a binomial distribution that summarizes the possibility that a value will take one of two independent values under a provided set of parameters.
