Question:

Refer to the Nuclear Science and Engineering study, Exercise 4.36. If neutral particles are released one at a time into the evacuated duct, find the probability that more than five particles will need to be released until we observe two particles reflected by the inner duct wall.


Data from Exercise 4.36

Refer to the neutral particle transport problem described in Exercise 3.42. Recall that particles released into an evacuated duct collide with the inner duct wall and are either scattered (reflected) with probability .16 or absorbed with probability .84.
