Each trial is independent. The probability is fixed from trial to trial, and the number of trials n is ...

groups of too close radiocarbon dates
... Two mutually exclusive cases are possible when considering the group of dates: all samples are of equal true age, or not all samples are of equal age. The first case, of course, is a rare one. Logically simple, the proposed classification of groups needs, in fact, some clarification. The question is ...
