Bioethanol is produced by converting sucrose to ethanol in a bioreactor using yeast cells. The number of yeast cells in the reactor R-multiplies every hour. The growth rate factor R is an unknown number, but constant at the growth stage of the process, which this task deals with. After preparing the reactor, the scientist Taylor knows that R cannot be directly predicted, but it is evenly distributed between i = [1.4, 2.6]. Coefficient Y = R^8 expresses multiple the yeast population increases (or decreases) in 8 hours.

A) Calculate E(Y) based on Taylors data.

B) What is the range of possible values of Y?
