if there was a group of ten people the probability of them being born on the same day of the same year is 1, true or false and why

Sagot :

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

It's completely false. If I remember the odds it takes 23 people to get a probability of 1/2 to get a 50% chance of two of the people to have the same day, never mind the same year.

When I was growing up, I had the pleasure of sharing my birthday on the same day as one of my classmates. I was in Grade Three at the time. We were  born in the same year. That's the only time I ever heard of it during my childhood. There were 26 in the class.

Later on when I was teaching I tried it in a class of 20. I had forgotten that the class contained a set of twins.

If the class is more random 23 people gives a 50% chance of a duplication of the year but not the year.
