Answer #1

a)probability that 4 people have a birthday on a particular day =80C4(1/365)4(364/365)76 =0.0000723

hence expected number of days of the year that are birthdays of exactly 4 people =np=365*0.0000723 =0.0264

b)

P(exactly one birthday on a day)=80C1(1/365)1(364/365)79 =0.1764697

hence E[distinct birthdays]= np=365*0.1764697=64.41144
