A First Course in Probability 9
Suppose that the number of events that occur in a specified time is a Poisson random variable with parameter \(\lambda\). If each event is counted with probability \(p\), independently of every other event, show that the number of events that are counted is a Poisson random variable with parameter \(

Aquaporins exclude passage of hydronium ions (H30+). But recent research has revealed a role for some aquaporins in fat metabolism, in which they allow passage of glycerol, a three-carbon alcohol (see Figure 5.11), as well as H20. Since H30+ is much closer in size to water than is glycerol, what do y
