Uranium Fission Problem: When a uranium atom splits (fissions), it releases 0, 1, 2, 3, or 4 neutrons. Let P(x) be the probability that x neutrons are released. Assume the probability distribution is a. What is the mathematically expected number of neutrons released per fission? b. The number of neutrons released in any one fission must be an integer. How do you explain the fact that the mathematically expected number in part a is not an integer?
