Answer: Poisson distribution

Explanation:

The Poisson distribution simply measures the chance for an event occuring based on a particular period of time. It is typically useful for finding the probability of events that have low probabilities of occuring.

Therefore, the distribution that will be ideal in knowing the number of fatalities in Texas in a given year due to poisonous snakebites is the poisson distribution.
