The Coefficient of Coincidence is used to measure:
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: The intensity of interference
The Coefficient of Coincidence is the ratio of observed double crossovers to expected double crossovers. It is used to calculate interference (Interference = 1 - Coefficient of Coincidence).
