    A = 1500; B=387.3

    Step-by-step explanation:

    A. the expected number of pounds of material requried to obtain 15 particles of contamination

    We represent:

    Y as the poisson random variable with λ to be 0.01

    X as Erlang random variable with r to be 15 particles

    Therefore

    E (X) = r/λ

    = 15/0.01

    =1500

    B. standard deviation of the per pounds pf material required to obtain 15 particales of contamination

    Standard deviation X = √ r/λ^2

    √ 15/0.0001

    =387.3
