Yeast cells are suspended in a liquid medium at a concentration of 4 particles per milliliter. A volume of 2 milliliters is withdrawn. Let X be the number of particles contained in this volume. Find the mean and standard deviation of X.

Particles are suspended in a liquid medium at a concentration of 6 particles per mL. A large volume of suspension is thoroughly agitated, and then 3 mL are withdrawn. What is the probability that exactly 15 particles are withdrawn? What is the probability that fewer than 10 particles are withdrawn? What is the probability that more than 14 particles are withdrawn?

The concentration of particles in a suspension is 50 per mL. A 5 mL volume of the suspension is withdrawn. a. What is the probability that the number of particles withdrawn will be between 235 and 265? b. What is the probability that the average number of particles per mL in the withdrawn sample is between 48 and 52? c. If a 10 mL sample is withdrawn, what is the probability that the average number per mL of particles in the withdrawn sample is between 48 and 52? d. How large a sample must be withdrawn so that the average number of particles per mL in the sample is between 48 and 52 with a probability of 95%?

The number of particles in a small sample of a suspension has a Poisson distribution. (a) For a certain suspension, the probability is 0.03 that a 1 mL sample will contain no particles. What is the mean concentration per mL of particles in this suspension? (b) Three 1 mL samples are drawn from a suspension with a mean concentration of 2 particles per mL. What is the probability that all three samples contain at least one particle?
