Same Birthdays If 25 people are randomly selected, find the probability that no 2 of them have the same birthday. Ignore leap years.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The probability that out of 25 people, no two people have the same birthday is 0.431.

Step by step solution

01

Given information

Twenty-five people are selected at random.

02

Multiplication rule of probability

When multiple selections (equal to say n) are made from a sample, the probability of occurrence of an event at difference sequences of selections is given by:

PA=PAat1stselectionPAat2ndselection.....PAatnthselection

03

Compute the probability of unique birthdays

The total number of days in a year is 365.

The total number of people(days) to be selected is 25.

For all birthdays to be unique, the number of favorable options decreases by one at every successive individual.

However, the total number of options remains the same.

For no two people to have the same birthday, the following probability is calculated:

Palluniquebirthdays=365365364365363365......34136525selections=0.4313

Therefore, the probability that out of 25 selected people, all will have unique birthdays is 0.431.

Composite Water Samples The Fairfield County Department of Public Health tests water for the presence of E. coli (Escherichia coli) bacteria. To reduce laboratory costs, water samples from 10 public swimming areas are combined for one test, and further testing is done only if the combined sample tests positive. Based on past results, there is a 0.005 probability of finding E. coli bacteria in a public swimming area. Find the probability that a combined sample from 10 public swimming areas will reveal the presence of E. coli bacteria. Is that probability low enough so that further testing of the individual samples is rarely necessary?

At Least One. In Exercises 5鈥12, find the probability.

Births in China In China, where many couples were allowed to have only one child, the probability of a baby being a boy was 0.545. Among six randomly selected births in China, what is the probability that at least one of them is a girl? Could this system continue to work indefinitely? (Phasing out of this policy was begun in 2015.)

At Least One. In Exercises 5鈥12, find the probability.

Probability of a Girl Assuming that boys and girls are equally likely, find the probability of a couple having a boy when their third child is born, given that the first two children were both girls.

In Exercises 21鈥24, use these results from the 鈥1-Panel-THC鈥 test for marijuana use, which is provided by the company Drug Test Success: Among 143 subjects with positive test results, there are 24 false positive results; among 157 negative results, there are 3 false negative results. (Hint: Construct a table similar to Table 4-1, which is included with the Chapter Problem.)

Testing for Marijuana Use

a. How many subjects are included in the study?

b. How many of the subjects had a true negative result?

c. What is the probability that a randomly selected subject had a true negative result?

Exclusive Or The exclusive or means either one or the other events occurs, but not both.
