Question

Find the probability a molecue will travel a distance at least equal to the mean free path

Answer 1

Exponential probability distribution f(r) = Ae-r/ λ λ where A = a constant, λ λ = mean free path 3. The attempt at a solution P = Integral (limits λ λ to ∞ ∞ )f(r) dr / Integral (limits 0 to ∞ ∞ ) f(r) dr
