In a biostatistics class of 40 students, what is the probability that at least two people in the class will have the same birthday (i.e., the same day and month)? For simplicity, ignore leap year (Feb. 29). Note: list the equation you will use and how the problem is set up, using shorthand as appropriate. However, you may want to do the calculations themselves on Excel. How many people would you need to have about a 50% probability of having at least two people with the same birthday?

(07.04 LC) Mellie is conducting a test on mold spores on bread. She uses 6 slices of bread to compare two strains of mold. She applies one strain to the left side of the bread and one strain to the right side. She flips a coin to decide which strain goes on the right side of the bread. The mold spores that appear on each side are counted and she records them in a table. Bread Number of Spots for Strain 1 Number of Spots for Strain 2 1 30 19 2 21 17 3 15 15 4 13 12 5 6 9. 6 8 4 If Mellie is to perform an appropriate t-test to determine if there is a mean difference between the number of spots per piece of bread produced by the two strains, how many degrees of freedom should she use? 4 10 12 5
