Method
The program tries several different values of the source count rate
ranging from the maximum value of the background subtacted count rate
to the minimum. For each of these it finds the most significant
background subtracted point and calculates the probability for it.
This is done by summing the probabilities over values of the number
of background counts, such that the the number of source counts and
background counts give the required background subtracted count rate.
