Dataset Generated by Rutherford and Geiger (1910)
Description
This dataset was generated by Rutherford and Geiger (1910).
Usage
data(rutherford)
Format
A numeric vector including the radioactive decay counts of polonium recorded
by Rutherford and Geiger (1910). 2608 time intervals with a length of 7.5 seconds
(1/8 minute) were observed and the decays counted in each interval. A total
of 10097 decays occurred during the entire observation time.
Details
The dataset consists of 2608 observations.
Source
The data is taken from page 701 of Rutherford et al. (1910).
