A manufacturing firm produces microchips where the defect rate follows a Poisson process with an average of λ\lambda defects per wafer. If the number of defects XX per wafer is observed and we introduce a quality control mechanism that replaces a fraction pp of defective chips with non-defective ones, resulting in a new random variable YY. How does the variance of YY compare to the variance of XX?
