Suppose the probability of finding a defective spot in an area on a piece of glass is the ratio of that area to the total area of the glass and the probability is the same across the whole glass.
Which of the following distributions would you use to determine the probability of finding a
Defective spot in a randomly selected one square inch area on a piece of 10 feet by 10 feet glass?

The probability of finding a defective spot in a randomly selected one square inch area on a piece of 10 feet by 10 feet glass is the same for any one square inch area, and the probability is proportional to the area. This is the definition of a uniform distribution.
