8.8. Particles are emitted from a radioactive source. Suppose that the number of such particles emitted during a one-hour period has a Poisson distribution with param- eter A. A counting device is used to record the number of such particles emitted. If more than 30 particles arrive during any one-hour period, the recording device is incapable of keeping track of the excess and simply records 30. If Y is the random variable defined as the number of particles recorded by the counting device, obtain the probability dis- tribution of Y.
