Homework Statement
Knowing the decay constant ##\lambda## of a nucleus, find the probability of the decay of the nucleus during the time from 0 to ##t##.
Homework Equations
The Attempt at a Solution
I don't know where to start from. I know that the decay is first order and the number of particles remaining at any time ##t## is given by ##N(t)=N_0e^{-\lambda t}## but I have no clue how to set up the equations for finding the probability. Please give a few hints to begin with.
Any help is appreciated. Thanks!
