Answer

We won't use the Poisson distribution.

Work Step by Step

The first requirement is not satisfied, because n=50, but the requirement is $n\geq100.$ the second requirement is satisfied, because $n\cdotp=50\cdot\frac{1}{100}=0.05\leq10.$ One requirement is not satisfied, therefore we won't use the Poisson distribution.
