When studying radioactive​ material, a nuclear
engineer found that over 365​ days, 1,000,000 radioactive
atoms decayed to 976, 414
radioactive​ atoms, so 23,586 atoms
decayed during 365 days.
a. Find the mean number of radioactive atoms that decayed
in a day.
b. Find the probability that on a
given​ day, 50 radioactive atoms decayed.
