Abstract: This paper develops a statistical representation of the process of estimating the number of radioactive atoms in a sample of gas. The modeled process is composed of three steps: air sampling, gas separations and acquisition of a radioactive spectrum. The statistical representation of these component steps is derived from limits of first-order probability models of the components.
