Find the expectation for how many bacteria there are per field if there are 2350 bacteria are randomly distributed over 340 fields (all having the same size) next to each other.
Find the expectation for how many bacteria there are per field if there are 2350 bacteria are randomly distributed over 340 fields (all having the same size) next to each other. Correct Answer 6.91
The probability to land in a field for a bacterium is p = 1/340 and since we have n = 2350 bacteria. So, the expectation is m = np = 2350/340 = 6.91.
