Suppose you consider your birthdate to be special since it falls on Feb 16 and the class has 19 students in in it. A. Is the probablity of finding one student with a birthday that matches yours greater than, equal to, or less than the probability that there is at least one birthday match in your class. B. find the probability that atleast one other student in the class has your birthday. (The answer to B is 0.0482: can someone please explain how this is the answer)
Given that my birthday is on 16 feb.
Total no. of people in class including me = 19
Probability of a student having same birthday as me = 1/365 {NOT CONSIDERING A LEAP YEAR}
A).
As we can see that probability of finding one student with a birthday that matches mine is less than probability of atleast one birthday match.
B).

4. For the following problem, ignore the year of birth while comparing two birthdays. Moreover, assume that the year is exactly 365 days (ignore the 29th of February) Note that matching birthdays means the birthdays are the same (a) You are a member of a class room that has n +1 students including you. What is the probability that you find at least one student, other than you, who has a birthday that matches yours? (b) In another classroom that...

1. Suppose you roll a special 19-sided die. What is the probability that the number rolled is a "1" OR a "2"? Round to 3 decimal places. 2. A test was given to a group of students. The grades and gender are summarized below A B C Total Male 7 10 2 19 Female 8 5 15 28 Total 15 15 17 47 If one student is chosen at random from those who took the test, Find the probability that...
Since you are all in this class, I know that you all have to consider how to pay for college and all of you will solve that problem slightly differently, whether it be through paying yourself, help from your parents, financial aid or student loans. Critics of ever-expanding college enrollments argue that many students should not be going to college. Rather, they should be going to trade or vocation schools to become electricians, plumbers, stonemasons, etc. The reasoning is that...
5. You roll a 12-sided die with equal probability of having the numbers 1 through 12 on the upper side. Your friend covers up the number it shows, but you are given the information that it only has one digit (and therefore can't be 10, 11 and 12). What is the probability it has 5 on the upper side? 6. The crosstabulation below represents the number of households (1,000s) and the household income by the highest level of education for...
1) Catching a cold during cold and flu season. For the two situations below, you can only use the binomial and Poisson distributions for one or the other, meaning you will use a different distribution for the two scenarios. Justify your selection for which distribution to use for each scenario in your answer. i) Assume that you shake hands with 10 other students, and that each student has a 0.25 probability of having a cold. Compute the probability that you...

Suppose a student organization at a university collected data for a study involving class sizes from different departments. The following table shows the average class size from a random sample of classes in the business school vs. the average class size from a random sample of classes in the engineering school. Data for the sample sizes and standard deviations are also shown. Use this data to complete parts a through c. Business Engineering Sample mean 38.5 31.2 Sample standard deviation...

Your parents are always complaining that you do not do enough housework. They say that you should be helping them out because you are only a student and you have a lot more spare time than them The number of hours per week that your parents work has a mean of 46.76 hours and a standard deviation of 2.47 hours. You believe that the number of hours per week that you have to study for university has a mean of...
