This question is more complicated, because we were not given the total of people in this class. However, finding two people with the same birthday depends on the amount of people in one room. Depending on how large the number of people, makes the probability of finding two people with the same birthday. Higher the number of people in the classroom the higher the outcome. Let’s say that a year is always 365 days long. The chance that the second classmate has the same birthday is 1/365. To find the probability that both people have the same birthday, we must multiply their separate probabilities… (365/365) * (1/365), which 1/365, or about 0.27%. The higher number of people having the same birthday gives us a higher probability. Now, if
Have you ever heard that twins could have completely different personalities, they could be friends, siblings, or possibly even enemies. Author Eric Wright creates a story about a writer who specializes in writing
Even though they are brother and sister and grew up together, they are two people with
On October 9, 1968, a set of twins were born, but separated at birth and ultimately, put up for adoption. The decision to separate the twins came from the adoption agency who wanted to conduct a nature versus nurture experiment; however, the experiment was conducted in secret. However, for unknown reasons, the experiment never developed to fruition. Unaware the child they adopted was a twin; both sets of parents raised a singular child. Thirty-five years later, one twin began a search for her biological mother through the adoption agency, only to find out that she was born a twin. Upon learning her identity, she reached out to her twin and they began the journey of getting to know one another by comparing characteristics that appeared similar such as temperament and mannerism. They even discovered that they both held positions as a film critic and enjoyed almost identical movies.
Countee Cullen was possibly born on May 30, although because of different accounts of the actual date in his early life, a general application of the year of his birth as 1903 is reasonable. He was either born in New York, Baltimore, or Lexington, Kentucky. Although his late wife was convinced that he was born in Lexington. Cullen was possibly abandoned by his mother, and raised by a woman named Mrs. Porter. Mrs. Porter was thought to be his paternal grandmother.

Approximately four babies are born every second of the day in the world, that means that means that there are roughly 345,600 people that have the exact same birthday, including the same birth year. That makes you wonder, what the chances are that a pair of people in a room have the same birthday. With the application of the birthday paradox, also known as the birthday problem, these “chances” can be approximated.

When a wife surprises her husband on his birthday, an ironic turn of events occurs.

Moira’s Birthday party is a funny book full of chaos and fun. The book starts with Moira asking her parents for a birthday party. She wants to invite grades k-6 to her party but her parents say that's too many and to only invite six kids. She goes to school the next day and gets cared away and invites k-6 but doesn't tell her parents. On her birthday six kids show up and her parents start the party but soon 100 more kids show up. Her parents freak out and start worrying about how to feed all the kids. Moira comes up with an idea to feed them all. She calls the pizza place and a bakery and asks for 100 of each. They say that's impossible and can only do six, so they sent them six. This isn't enough to feed all the kids, so the kids go and bring
The reason we use this formula in particular is because the birthdays of 30 random people in a room are all independent events that do not rely on one another for it’s occurrence.
Have you ever been walking down the street when you notice someone who looks almost exactly like you? Or have you been browsing social media when you see a picture of a person that looks extremely familiar? Have you ever wondered if there’s an exact double of you? These “twin strangers” are also referred to as doppelgangers, and the odds of finding one are much higher than you might think.
In the poem 'The Last Day of the Year,'; Annette Von Droste-Hülshoff uses imagery and references to God to express the coming of the end of the year. The poem, however, seems to reflect the impending freedom of women from a patriarchal society. This poem's imagery and outside references suggest that it is in fact a plea for the end of the suffering of women, and that the coming of their empowerment is near. The three things that I will use to prove this point are how one year represents the time of women's oppression, how she speaks directly to men in the poem, and how she makes divine references to represent the freedom of women.
