If there are 12strangers in a room, what is the probability that no two of them celebrate their birthday in the same month?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The probability that no two of them celebrate their birthday in the

the same month is12!1212.

Step by step solution

01

Given Information.

There are 12strangers in a room,

02

Explantion.

If 12people are in the room:

The outcome space of the experiment isSx1,x2,x3,鈥�x12:xi鈭�{1,2,3,鈥�12} where the vector describes their months of birth.

because each element of the vector can be chosen inways.

As each outcome from the outcome space is equally likely, the Axioms give:

(is the number of elements in the set)

And the number of sample events in the event that no two people share their month of birth isthe number of different valued vectors insize.

Two cards are randomly selected from an ordinary playing deck. What is the probability that it is a blackjack?That is, what is the probability that one of the card is an ace and the other one is either a a ten, a jack, a queen or a king?

Consider an experiment that consists of 6horses, numbered1through6, and running a race, and suppose that the sample space consists of the 6!possible orders in which the horses finish. Let Abe the event that the number-1the horse is among the top three finishers, and letBbe the event that the number-2horse comes in second. How many outcomes are in the eventA鈭�B?

Consider the following technique for shuffling a deck of n cards: For any initial ordering of the cards, go through the deck one card at a time, and at each card, flip a fair coin. If the coin comes up heads, then leave the card where it is; if the coin comes up tails, then move that card to the end of the deck. After the coin has been flipped n times, say that one round has been completed. For instance, if n=4the initial ordering is1,2,3,4,then if the successive flips result in the outcome h,t,t,h,then the ordering at the end of the round is 1,4,2,3.Assuming that all possible outcomes of the sequence of ncoin flips are equally likely, what is the probability that the ordering after one round is the same as the initial ordering?

Five people, designated as A,B,C,D,E, are arranged in linear order. Assuming that each possible order is equally likely, what is the probability that
