Math 1050 Section 1 Puzzle 8
Name:
There are 50 people in a room. What do you think the probability (likelyhood)
of any two people in the room having the same birthday is?
As a followup question nd 50 random people and ask them their birthdays and
record the data on this sheet or an attached sheet. Was there anyone who had the
same birthday? If so how many pairs were there?
Can you nd a formula that gives the probability for any 2 people in the group of
50 having the same birthday? If so where did you nd it or how did you calculate it?
