Question

A luxury brand automobiles uses high-quality leather made from bull hides for the interiors of its cars. Before the hides are sent to the cutting and stitching areas, a quality control inspector examines the surface of the leather for any defects, marking each one with a piece of chalk.

Suppose that flaws in the leather occur according to a Poisson process with a mean of 0.7 flaws per square yard. Suppose the quality inspector will examine a piece of leather that measures 4 yards by 1.2 yards. What is the probability that there will be fewer than two defects in a piece of leather this size? Take your calculations to three (3) decimal places.

Hint: be sure you are using the correct value of λ.

I keep missing the problems that deal with poisson process. Please help me out on this particular problem.
