Further assume that $\lambda$varies from location to location according to a gamma distribution with parameters $\alpha$ and $\beta$ , where $\alpha$ is a positive integer. If we randomly select a location, what is the (A) expected number of bacteria per cubic centimetre? (B) standard deviation of the number of bacteria per cubic centimetre?
