There are 4 people in a room. What’s the probability that there
are two people born on the same day of the week? (Assume all
birthdays are independent and are uniformly distributed over the
seven days of the week.)
A) If four babies are born in a given hospital on the
same day, what is the probability that all four will be boys?
B) if four babies are born in a given hospital on the same day,
what is the probability that 3 will be girls and 1 will be a
boy?
C) You flip a coin twice what is the probability that it lands on
heads once and tails one?
What is the probability that out of a class of 25 people at
least two have the same birthday? Assume that each birthday is
equally likely and that there are only 365 days on which to be born
each year. State you answer as a decimal rounded to six decimal
places.
Suppose 26 people are on Planet Z, where they were born. What's
the probability at least two of them have the same birthday? (On
Planet Z, a year is about 400 days; you may assume a person is
equally likely to have been born on any day in the Planet Z
year.)
b. Now suppose n people are on Planet Z, where they were born.
Find the smallest n such that the probability that at least two of
the people...
Determine the
probability that in a group of 5 people, at least two share the
same birth month. Assume that all 12 months are equally
likely to be someone’s birth month.
a) How many choices are there for the birth months of these 5
people (without any restrictions)?
b) How many choices are there for the 5 people to have all
different birth months?
c) Report the probability that in a group of 5 people, at least
two share the...
Given a group of four people, find the probability that: (a) at
least two have the same birth month (b) at least two have the same
birthday Assume each day or month is equally likely. Ignore leap
years. [Hint: First calculate the probability that they all have
different birthdays. Similar to Q5 but with either 12 or 365
hotels.]
Answer to a) should be 0.427
Answer to b) should be 0.00164

What is the probability that in a group of three people at least
two will have the same birth month? (Assume that all sequences of
three birth months are equally likely.) (b) What is the probability
that in a group of n people, n ≤ 12 , at least two will have the
same birth month? (c) What is the probability that in a group of n
people, n > 12 , at least two will have the same birth...
