When dealing with the number of occurrences of an event over a specified interval of time or space, the appropriate probability distribution is a

a. Poisson distribution.
b. Hypergeometric probability distribution.
c. Normal distribution.
d. Binomial distribution.

a)  Poisson distribution

use a  Poisson distribution model when events happen at a constant rate over time or space.

Step-by-step explanation:

Poisson distribution

use a  Poisson distribution model when events happen at a constant rate over time or space.

Hyper geometric probability distribution:-

The Hyper geometric probability distribution is a discrete probability distribution that describes the probability of successes (random draws for which the object drawn has a specified feature) in draws without replacement, from a finite population of size that contains exactly objects with that feature where in each draw is either a success or failure.

This is more than geometric function so it is called the Hyper geometric probability distribution

Binomial distribution

Finally use a Binomial distribution when you recognize distinct Bernoulli trials.

Normal distribution:-

Conclusion:-

Given data use a  Poisson distribution model when events happen at a constant rate over time or space.

this is not the answer this is just a question. is this middle school math?

if you meant, "on the way from (3, 2) to (3, 14):

x does not change; y increases by 12.
