1. In a radioactivity counting measurement, a total count of 1,000 was recorded in 100m Assuming that the count rate (in counts per second) follows the Poisson distribution *e- P(x,x): x! (a) What is the probability of recording zero count in a 10-second interval? (b) What is the uncertainty of your result in (a)?
