Average life or mean life (τ) of a radioactive element is the ratio of total life time of all the atoms and total number of atoms present initially in the sample.
Relation between average life and decay constant τ = 1 / λ
Relation between half-life and average life τ = 1.44 T
The number of atoms left undecayed after n half-lifes is given by
N = No (1 / 2)n = No (1 / 2) t/T
where, n = t / T, here t = total time.
