(c) A particular nuclear plant releases a detectable amount of radioactive gases twice a month on the average (iii) If, in fact, 12 or more emission are detected during a 3-month period, do you think that there is a reason to suspect the reported average figure of twice a month? Explain, on the basis of the probability involved.
