- Calculate a relative standard deviation for the counts.
- What is the main reason for the seemingly very low efficiency of counting?
- What is the major sources of error in this experiment?
- Calculate a percentage yield for the experiment using the answer from Q1.
- If you assume the counting efficiency of the GM is around 8%, what does that make your yield?
