Assume you have a gathering of 2,000 people. a) Can you assure 100 % that at least two people will celebrate their birthday on the same day of any given month? b) would it make any difference if the year you are considering is a leap year?

Answer #1

Number of people= 2000

P( atleast two people will celebrate their birthday on the same day of any month b) = 1- P ( all the people have their birthday on different days in all months b)

= 1-0 = 1 because maximum number of unique birthdays can be 365 ( one birthday per day of year )

Hence we are 100% sure

2.) In leap year, number of days are 366, therefore maximum number of unique birthdays can be 366, so all 2000 people cannot have unique birthdays, hence probability in 1 will remain unchanged

How many people do you have to assemble in a room (people picked at random from the general population) before there is at least an even chance (P = 0.5) that at least two have the same birthdate (e.g., February 4 or September 9)? Assume that the year has 365 days; that is, don’t worry about leap year. Hint: Check your answer by using the same method to calculate the probability that two people will have the same birthday if...

Forty-four people have served as President of the United States. Grover Cleveland is often counted twice because he served two non-consecutive terms.

Use R to tackle the following problem Suppose there is a class of 23 people with birthdays given by the random variables X1, . . . , X23. Suppose that the random variables are independent and that each Xi has the property that P(Xi = k) = 1 365 for 1 ≤ k ≤ 365; thus we make the assumption that there are no leap years and that people are equally likely to be born on each day of the...
