There should be 7 individual setups. (The TA setup is no longer needed for this lab.)

You will have to use what you've learned about radioactivity and half-life measurements in the previous two labs to come up with a dating technique and to estimate your uncertainty in the $N$$\sqrt{N}$$R = N/t$$\Delta R = \sqrt{N}/t$$N_0$$t = 0$$N$$N = N_0\big…
