Answer to Problem 45E

  0.992

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

Generating the Birthday Probabilities: The probability that, in a group of n people, at least two people will share a common birthday is generated on a calculator for values of n from 1 to 365 .

Set the values of N and P to zero:

Type in this single, multi-step command:

  Advanced Placement Calculus Graphical Numerical Algebraic Sixth Edition High School Binding Copyright 2020, Chapter 2.1, Problem 45E , additional homework tip  2

Now each time you press the ENTER key, the command will print a new value of N (the number of people in the room) alongside P (the probability that at least two of them share a common birthday)

  Advanced Placement Calculus Graphical Numerical Algebraic Sixth Edition High School Binding Copyright 2020, Chapter 2.1, Problem 45E , additional homework tip  3

(Assume that there are 365 possible birthdays, all of them equally likely).

There are three people in the room.

There are 365 possible birthdays so the total number of possible outcomes are 365 .

They all have different birthdays, so the number of favorable outcomes is 362 .

Therefore, the probability of having them different birthdays will be:

  Pthe three people in the room have different birthday=362365»0.992

Answer to Problem 45E

  0.008

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

If there are three people in the room, what is the probability that at least two of them share a common birthday.

Calculation:

The probability of having them different birthdays is 0.992:

Therefore, the probability of at least two of them sharing a common birthday will be:

  P(that at least two of them share a common birthday)=1-0.992=0.008

c

To determine

To find: The probability of a shared birthday when there are four people in the room.

c

Expert Solution
Check Mark

Explanation of Solution

Given information: Explain how you use the answer in part b to find the probability of a shared birthday when there are four people in the room. (This is how the calculator statement in Step 2 generates the probabilities).

Let the probability P used by calculator be the answer in part b .

Then, the probability of a shared birthday when there are four people will be:

  Pa shared birthday when there are four people in the room=1-1-Pthe three people in the room have different birthday=362365=0.016

d

To determine

To find: Is it reasonable to assume all calendar dates are equally likely birthdays.

d

Expert Solution
Check Mark

Explanation of Solution

Given information: All calendar dates.

No, it is not reasonable to assume that all calendar dates are equally likely birthday as the probability of having the same birthday will increase with the increase in the number of people.
