Answer:

700 lbs and 3.742

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that raw materials are studied for contamination. Suppose that the number of particles of contamination per pound of material is a Poisson random variable with a mean of 0.02 particle per pound.

a) To get 14 particles of contamination we must have

expected number of pounds = \frac{14}{0.02} \\=700

b) Since for 700 pounds particles expected are 14 we can say in  a Poisson distribution mean and variance are equal

i.e. Var (700 lbs to obtain 14 particles of contamination ) = 14

Std deviation =\sqrt{14} =3.742
