Consider an experiment that consists of counting the number of particles given off in a one-second
Question:
Consider an experiment that consists of counting the number of α particles given off in a one-second interval by one gram of radioactive material. If we know from past experience that, on the average, 3.2 such α-particles are given off, what is a good approximation to the probability that no more than 2 α-particles will appear?
