Re: Geiger, not binomial ?

I have a problem with the distribution of counts from a
Geiger counter.It must be a binomial distribution but I
can not fit it with a binomial distribution.

I thought that a radioactive source was an example of a Poisson
distribution. Looks kind of Gaussian after a time, but really isn't.
