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.(a) 4.98(b) 3.875(c) 6.91(d) 7.37I have been asked this question in an interview for job.My question comes from Geometric Probability in chapter Discrete Probability of Discrete Mathematics

Answer» CORRECT CHOICE is (C) 6.91

For explanation: The PROBABILITY to land in a field for a bacterium is p = 1/340and since we have n = 2350 bacteria. So, the expectation is m = NP = 2350/340 = 6.91.
