Question

The interarrival time of nuclear particles in a Monte Carlo simulation of a reaction is designed to have a uniform distribution over an interval from 0 to 0.5 milliseconds. Determine the probability that the interarrival time between two particles will be:

Answer 1

Answer:

Incomplete question, but you can use the formulas given to solve it.

Step-by-step explanation:

Uniform probability distribution:

An uniform distribution has two bounds, a and b.

The probability of finding a value of at lower than x is:

$P(X < x) = \frac{x - a}{b - a}$

The probability of finding a value between c and d is:

$P(c \leq X \leq d) = \frac{d - c}{b - a}$

The probability of finding a value above x is:

$P(X > x) = \frac{b - x}{b - a}$

Uniform distribution over an interval from 0 to 0.5 milliseconds

This means that $a = 0, b = 0.5$

Determine the probability that the interarrival time between two particles will be:

Considering $a = 0, b = 0.5$, and the question asked, you choose one of the three formulas above.
