(choose chapter or problem)

A forester studying diseased pine trees models the number of diseased trees per acre, Y , as a Poisson random variable with mean . However, changes from area to area, and its random behavior is modeled by a gamma distribution. That is, for some integer , f () = 1 () 1 e/ , > 0, 0, elsewhere. Find the unconditional probability distribution for Y .
