The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem of finding the probability that out of 10 persons all born in June, at least two have the same birthday, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Problem**: We need to find the probability that at least two out of 10 people share the same birthday in June. 2. **Using the Complement Rule**: Instead of directly calculating the probability of at least two people sharing a birthday, we can use the complement rule. The complement of "at least two people share a birthday" is "no one shares a birthday." Thus, we can express our desired probability as: \[ P(\text{at least 2 share}) = 1 - P(\text{none share}) \] 3. **Calculating the Total Outcomes**: In June, there are 30 days. The total number of ways to assign birthdays to 10 people (where each can have any of the 30 days) is: \[ 30^{10} \] 4. **Calculating the Favorable Outcomes (None Share)**: To find the number of ways in which no two people share a birthday, we can select 10 different days from the 30 available days. The number of ways to choose 10 days from 30 is given by the combination formula \( \binom{30}{10} \). After choosing the days, we can assign the 10 people to these days in \( 10! \) (10 factorial) ways. Therefore, the number of favorable outcomes where no one shares a birthday is: \[ \binom{30}{10} \times 10! \] 5. **Putting It All Together**: Now we can substitute the values into our probability expression: \[ P(\text{none share}) = \frac{\binom{30}{10} \times 10!}{30^{10}} \] Thus, the probability that at least two people share a birthday is: \[ P(\text{at least 2 share}) = 1 - \frac{\binom{30}{10} \times 10!}{30^{10}} \] 6. **Final Expression**: We can express \( 10! \) in terms of permutations: \[ P(\text{at least 2 share}) = 1 - \frac{30P10}{30^{10}} \] where \( 30P10 = \frac{30!}{(30-10)!} \). ### Conclusion: The final probability that at least two of the 10 persons have the same birthday is given by: \[ P(\text{at least 2 share}) = 1 - \frac{30P10}{30^{10}} \] This matches option (c): \[ \text{(c) } \frac{30^{10} - 30P10}{30^{10}} \]
