Suppose that the number of eggs laid by a certain insect has a poisson distribution with mean λ. the probability that any one egg hatches is p. assume that the eggs hatch independently of one another. find the expected value of y , the total number of eggs that hatch.

The boiling point of water at an elevation of 0 feet is 212 degrees fahrenheit (°f). for every 1,000 feet of increase in elevation, the boiling point of water decreases by about 2°f. which of the following represents this relationship if b is the boiling point of water at an elevation of e thousand feet? a) e = 2b - 212 b) b = 2e - 212 c) e = -2b + 212 d) b = -2e + 212
