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?

The Margaria-Kalamen test is used by physical educators as a measure of leg strength. An individual runs up a staircase, and the elapsed time from the third to the ninth step is recorded. The power score is calculated using a formula involving the individual's weight, the height of the stairs, and the running time. The following tablet shows the power scores required of men for an excellent rating for selected ages.
