Question:
A radioactive sample's half-life is \(1.0 \mathrm{~min}\), so each nucleus in the sample has a \(50 \%\) chance of undergoing a decay sometime between \(t=0\) and \(t=1 \mathrm{~min}\). One particular nucleus has not decayed at \(t=15 \mathrm{~min}\). What is the probability this nucleus will decay between \(t=15\) and \(t=16 \mathrm{~min}\) ?

I have 6 years of rich teaching experience in subjects like Mathematics, Accounting, and Entrance Exams preparation. With my experience, I am able to quickly adapt to the student's level of understanding and make the best use of his time.
I focus on teaching concepts along with the applications and what separates me is the connection I create with my students. I am well qualified for working on complex problems and reaching out to the solutions in minimal time. I was also awarded 'The Best Tutor Award' for 2 consecutive years in my previous job.
Hoping to get to work on some really interesting problems here.
