Assume that Y denotes the number of bacteria per cubic centimetre in a particular liquid and that Y has a Poisson distribution with parameter. Further assume that
varies from location to location according to a gamma distribution with parameters
and
, where
is a positive integer. If we randomly select a location, what is the
(A) expected number of bacteria per cubic centimetre?
(B) standard deviation of the number of bacteria per cubic centimetre?
