Answer:
a)0,45119
b)1
Step-by-step explanation:
For part A of the problem we must first find the probability that both people in the couple have the same birthday (April 30)
Now the poisson approximation is used
λ=nP=80000*1/133225=0,6
Now, let X be the number of couples that birth April 30
P(X ≥ 1) =
1 − P(X = 0) =
P(X ≥ 1) = 0,45119
B) Now want to find the
probability that both partners celebrated their birthday on th, assuming that the year is 52 weeks and therefore 52 thursday
Now the poisson approximation is used
λ=nP=80000*52/133225=31.225
Now, let X be the number of couples that birth same day
P(X ≥ 1) =
1 − P(X = 0) =
P(X ≥ 1) = 1
