SUMMARY
The discussion centers on the expectation value and the variance deltaN for the number of hairs Nsub.1 on a rare species, where Nsub.1 can only take values of 2l (l=0,1,2,...). The probability of finding an animal with 2l hairs is given by exp(-1/l!). The user has solved the mathematical problem but seeks guidance on grading the concept and understanding tensors in a more accessible manner.
