A Geiger counter counts the number of alpha particles from radioactive material. Over a long period of time, an average of 25 particles per minute occurs. Assume the arrival of particles at the counter follows a Poisson distribution.
Find the probability that at least one particle arrives in a
particular one second period. Round your answer to four
decimals.
Find the probability that at least two particles arrive in a
particular 2 second period. Round your answer to four
decimals.
