A little Poisson
this was part of a problem on an exam i did today... I'm not sure if I did it right so I wanted to post it here and see how some proability wizzes would do it.
Let Z be a function of a random Variable Y
were Z is 2(Y^2) for any value of Y
and Y is the Poisson distribution for Lamda = 3.5
what is the expected value of Z??
thanks in advance,
little fishy
