Question
When studying radioactive material, a nuclear engineer found that over 365 days, 1,000,000 radioactive atoms decayed to 974 comma 840 radioactive atoms, so 25 comma 160 atoms decayed during 365 days.
a. Find the mean number of radioactive atoms that decayed in a day. (Round to three decimal places as needed.)
b. Find the probability that on a given day, 50 radioactive atoms decayed. (Round to six decimal places as needed.)
