Decay modes are α size 12{α} {} , β − size 12{β rSup { size 8{ - {}} } } {} , β + size 12{β rSup { size 8{+{}} } } {} , electron capture (EC) and isomeric transition (IT). EC results in the same daughter nucleus as would β + size 12{β rSup { size 8{+{}} } } {} decay. IT is a transition from a metastable excited state. Energies for β ± size 12{β rSup { size 8{ +- {}} } } {} decays are the maxima; average energies are roughly one-half the maxima.

Bhartdarshan' is an internet-based travel agency wherein customer can see videos of the cities they plant to visit. The number of hits daily is a normally distributed random variable with a mean of 10,000 and a standard deviation of 2,400 a. what is the probability of getting more than 12,000 hits? b. what is the probability of getting fewer than 9,000 hits?
