The average counting rate for a radioactive sample

Reference no: EM13663025

The average counting rate for a radioactive sample is 486cpm. How do you find the probability that in any given 10 sec interval one gets less than 70 counts? Is this the same as the probability of getting less than 70 x6= 420 counts in 60 secs?
