Is it correct to define mean life(average life) the time at which no of particles will reduce to 1/e of their initial values No/e = No e^(-lambda*t) -1= - lambda *t t(mean) = 1/ lambda or the sum of life of all the particles present divided by total no of particles derivation using intergration.. which is the correct answer?(cbse 2010)

No/e = No e^(-lambda*t)
-1= - lambda *t
t(mean) = 1/ lambda

or the sum of life of all the particles present divided by total no of particles
derivation using intergration..

which is the correct answer?(cbse 2010)
