/*
Now, if instead the mean background level b in the signal region is
specified, along with Gaussian rms sigb, then one can fake a Poisson
sideband (see Linnemann, p. 35, converted to Cranmer's notation) by
letting tau = b/(sigb*sigb) and y = b*tau.  Thus, for example, if one
has x=150 and b = 100 +/- 10, one then derives tau and y.  Then one
has the same two lines of ROOT calling BetaIncomplete and ErfInverse.
Since I chose these numbers to revert to the previous example, we get
the same answer:

tau = b/(sigb*sigb)
y = tau*b
