Abstract

A simple derivation of the probability distributions for the emission of bosons and fermions from a black hole is given. The derivation is based upon the generalized treatment of barrier penetration introduced by Damour and Ruffini. The intuitive amplitude method of Feynman is employed to establish the intimate connection between the statistics of the particles and their spectral distributions.
