Use sum formula for tangent and the fact that tan 45° = 1.

Substitute, expand, and solve, you will get tan² θ = 1/3. The solutions of this equation are 30°, 210°, 150°, and 330°.

From the rule of surds
Sqr(ab) = sqr(a) × sqr(b)
sqr(1225) = sqr(100 × 12.25) = sqr(100) × sqr(12.25)
= 10 × 3.5
=35
hence sqr(1225) = 35

Help me solve then please. All

Among a group of 100 random students, what is the expected number of students who don't share birthdays with others in the group?

Note: by birthday, it means same month and day, and not necessarily year.


Assumptions: none of the students were born on February 29 and that number of days in a year is 365.

Do you actually mean the number of possible ways in which the students can have their birthdays without any two sharing the same birthday? If that is what you mean, your answer is
365P100 = 365!/265!

That is exactly my first line of thought when I first saw the problem. I think that your answer is from the perspective of a particular member of the group. When you throw in 100 random birthdays, one expects some couple of shared birthdays and a fairly larger proportion of unshared birthdays.

Read up birthday paradox: it says that among a group of 23 persons there's an approx. 50-50 chance that there's at least a shared birthday within the group. For example, in the 2014 world cup, 16 teams out of the 32 teams had at least 2 team members sharing a birthday. The paradox is strange but true.

No. That is not what I mean.

If one throws in 100 random birthdays, one expects some birthdays to match and some not to match. If this random experiment is conducted continuously (so to say), on the average, how many birthdays do not match with the others in a group of 100 persons?

Probability of first person number having birth day with another is 364/365
Second 363/365
Third 362/365
......... 265/365

Prob of not have same of 100 persons will be =

SOLUTION
We need to take a step by step approach in order to get this.
Since 29th of February is not included, this means that we are dealing with just 365 days.
Having said that, what is the expected probability of the 1st student? That is going to be 365/365 days
What is the expected probability of the 2nd student? 364/365
Third? 363/365
Fourth....362/365
Fifth..................361/365
This is how it will go on till we get to the 100th student which will be 266/365 but we cannot do this as it will be too cumbersome.
Now, let us sort the denominator. Every component in the denominator is 365 i.e 365/365 * 364/365 * 363/365................*266/365.
This means that the denominator will be 365100.

How about the numerator? We have 365! but we are not going to be needing the whole of it. We only need the area from 365 to 266. How do we get this?
All we need do is to divide 365! by 265!.

Thus, the desired solution to the problem is;
(365!) / (265! * 365100).

Modified:
So, I have gotten a calculator,
(365!) / (265! * 365100). = 3.0725 * 10-7 approximately.
That is around 0.00000030725 approx.
As you can see, the probability is very slim as it is almost unlikely that out of 100 students, none will share a birthday which makes a lot of sense.

Maybe we should try to simulate it using real data. This is the [url]https://img.fifa.com/image/upload/hzfqyndmnqazczvc5xdb.pdf [/url]for 2018 fifa world cup data with the players birthdays.

We can decide to pick any consecutive 100 players. Either from top, middle or bottom.

To get number of people they did not ask us for the probability
So that's why I said almost everyone will have same birth date with someone.

Or

It is unlikely for someone not to have same birth date with another.


Does figures are there for proof.


But humans are discrete data so you make it discrete
