1. Exercise
- Enter 0.5 for the decay constant (decay probability).
- Run the simulation in single step mode.
- Note the number of the remaining nuclei N, after each step in a table similar to this.

- Repeat the experiment 5 times ( A, B, C, D, E)!
- Answer the questions!
Questions 1) What is the expected value of the remaining nuclei after 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 time steps?
2) Why did not you get exactly these values?
3) Determine the interval containing your simulation results for each time step!
Express the interval of your results in X +/- Y form (e.g. [7,13] interval is expressed as 10 +/- 3) | If you would like to see the simulation in full screen, please click here. |
