已知信息: - 一个房间里有20个人。 - 每个人的生日都有可能出现在一年 365 天中的任何一天。 (a)房间里没有人同天生日的概率: 第一个人的生日可以是 365 天内的任何一天。 对于第二个人,剩余 364 天(共 365 天)可供选择,因此他们的生日与第一个人的生日不同。 对于第三个人,剩余 363 天(共 365 天)可供选择,因此他们的生日与前两个人不同。 继续这个过程,没有人同天生日的概率是: 概率 = (365/365) × (364/365) × (363/365) × ... × (346/365) 概率 = \frac{\left(365\cdot364\cdot363\ldots..346\right)}{365^{20}} (b)恰好两个人有同一天生日的概率: 步骤1:计算从20个人中选择2个人的方法数。 选择 2 个人的方式数 = 20 的组合取 2 = (20 × 19) / (2 × 1) = 190 第 2 步:计算选择两个人共享生日的特定日子的方法数。 选择特定日期的方式数 = 365 步骤3:计算将剩余18个人分配到另外364天的方法数。 剩余18人的分配方式数=365p18/365^18 步骤 4:将步骤 1、2 和 3 的乘积除以可能结果的总数来计算概率。 可能结果总数 = 365^20 概率 = (190 × 365 × 365p18 / (365^18)) / (365^20) (c)两个或两个以上的人有相同生日的概率: 两人或两人以上生日相同的概率 = 1 - 无人生日相同的概率 概率 = 1 - (365p20 / (365^20))
