According to Poisson formula [g(m,t) = (rt)^m exp(-rt) / m!]...
with r*t=11.8*0.2=2.36 one finds:
This is reasonable but far from being satisfactory.
counting experiments are the ways to explore
the random nature of radioactive transformations
this experiment was necessary to assist in the verification of various
theories about decay
MY POINT WAS THAT GEIGER COUNTS ARE HIGHLY RELIABLE SOURCES OF CLEAN DATA.
