Question:

A space probe measures the number density of particles of interstellar gas by enclosing \(1.00 \mathrm{~m}^{3}\) of space and measuring the number of atoms that pass from that volume through a detector in the shape of a cylinder \(15.0 \mathrm{~mm}\) in diameter and \(5.00 \mathrm{~mm}\) long. In one area of space, the number density of particles of interstellar gas is assumed to be 1 atom \(/ 1. 00 \times 10^{-6} \mathrm{~m}^{3}\). Out of a hundred tests, how many times does the detector register the presence of a particle in the cylindrical volume?
