A radioactive substance emits α-particle in such a way that the number of emitted particles during an hour, N, follows a Poisson distribution with parameter λ. The particle counter, however, is somewhat unreliable in the sense that each emitted particle is detected with probability p (0 ≤ p ≤ 1), whereas it remains undetected with probability q = 1 − p. All particles are detected independently of each other. Writing X for the number of detected particles during an arbitrarily...

The number of particles emitted from a radioactive source during a specified period is a random variable with a Poisson distribution. If the probability of no emissions is 1/3, what is the probability that 2 or more emissions occur? ans: 2−ln 3 / 3 .

Part 3 7. A detector counts the number of particles emitted from a radioactive source over the course of 10-second intervals. For 180 such 10-second intervals, the following counts were observed: Count # intervals 34 3 13 This table states, for example, that in 34 of the 10-second intervals a count of 2 was recorded. Sometimes, however, the detector did not function properly and recorded counts over intervals of length 20 seconds. This happened 20 times and the recorded counts...

Particles are emitted by material with wet radioactivity according to Poisson process with a rate of 10 particles emitted every half minute, which is to say the time between two emissions is independent of each other and has an exponential distribution. 1) What is the probability that (after ) the 9th particle is emitted at least 5 seconds earlier than the 10th one ? 2) What is the probability that, up to minutes, at least 50 particles are emitted? Write...

When particles emitted by a radioactive source pass through a magnetic field, it is found some have bent trajectories, as shown in the figure. Ray 2 is not bent, while the other rays are bent; this observation indicates that The particles in ray 2 are uncharged, while the particles in rays 1 and 3 are charged The particles in ray 2 and 3 are uncharged, while the particles in ray 1 is uncharged The particles in ray 2 have a...
