Suppose we consider a large number of containers each containing initially 10000 atoms of a radioactive material with a half life of 1 year. After 1 year.

A

all containers will have 5000 atoms of the material.

B

all the containers will contain the same number of ataoms of the material but that number will only be approximately 5000.

C

the containers will in general have different numbers of the atoms of the material but their average will be close to 5000.

D

none of the containers can have more than 5000 atoms.
