Chapter 9.5, Problem 7QE
Explanation of Solution
Find minimum number of people in a group so that at least two people in group have same birthday and relate this problem to file structures:
The numbers of people will be associated with some probability. We will find the number of people for a probability of just more than
The probability can be easily calculated by first calculating the probability for not having the same birthday.
Calculating for

A group of researchers conducted a study to investigate the effectiveness of a new teaching method for a particular subject. They randomly assigned 100 students to two groups: one group received the new teaching method, and the other group received the traditional teaching method. At the end of the semester, they measured the students' performance on a standardized test. The researchers found that the mean score for the group that received the new teaching method was higher than the mean score for the group that received the traditional teaching method. How can the researchers test the hypothesis that the new teaching method is more effective than the traditional teaching method? What statistical test should they use?
Use the pigeonhole principle to determine how many people are needed in a group to say that at least three were born on the same day of the year (each year is assumed to have 365 days).
Solve the problem using STEPWISE Method. Remember to use the step by step procedures (Step 1-7)
