A Geiger counter counts the number of alpha particles from radioactive material. Over a
long period of time, an average of 16 particles per minute occurs. Assume the arrival of
particles at the counter follows a Poisson distribution. Round your answers to four decimals.
a) Find the probability of exactly 21 particles arrive in a particular one minute period.
