Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that a collection of radioactive atoms exhibits predictable collective behavior despite individual radioactive decay being random?

While individual radioactive decay is a fundamentally random quantum process, large collections of radioactive atoms obey statistical laws such as exponential decay and half-life, yielding predictable macroscopic behavior. No citation is needed for this basic principle of statistics and physics.

The analysis

The claim describes a fundamental statistical property of radioactive decay (the law of large numbers applied to quantum events), which is a matter of everyday physical and mathematical observation. Therefore, it is categorized as common knowledge and does not require citations from the retrieved literature.
