Example A group of 45 engineering students makes up a class. What are the probability that no two students have birthdays on the same day, regardless of their birth year? Assume that there are 365 days in a year and that births are equally likely on all of them to simplify the computation. What are the chances that several of the students in the class have birthdays on the same day?

Example 2.3.28 A lot contains 20 articles. The probability that the lot contains exactly 2 defective articles is 0.4, and the probability that it contains 3 defective articles is 0.6. The articles are drawn one-by-one at random, and without replacement and they are tested till all defectives are found. What is the probability that the testing procedure ends at the twelfth testing?
Binary digits, that is 0 and 1 are sent down a noisy communications channel. They are received as sent with probability 0.9 but errors occur with probability 0.1. To improve the reliability of the channel we repeat each digit in the message three times. (a) Let A=”101 was received” and B=”111 was sent”. What is the probability that 111 was sent given that we received 101?, i.e., What is P(B|A)? (b) Let A=”000 was received” and B=”111 was sent”. What is the probability that 111 was sent given that we received 000?i.e., What is P(B|A)?
An assembly line has two inspectors. The probability that the first inspector will miss a defective item is 0.09. If the defective item passes the first inspector, the probability that the second inspector will miss it is 0.08. What is the probability that a defective item will pass by both inspectors?
