What is the probability that at least 2 people have the same birth month in a group of 8 people?

Birth months are not uniformly distributed across the year. However, if yo assume that they are, the probability is 0.9536 (approx).


What is the probability of having three boys in a row?

This question is extremely poorly phrased. The probability of three boys [sitting] in a row at an all boys school is 1. At an all girls school it is 0 and is otherwise somewhere in between. If the question is about birth order, do you take account of the fact that nearly half the families have two or fewer children? So that in half the cases the probability is 0. Finally, children's genders are not independent events. They depend on the parents' ages and their genes. However, if you assume that they are independent events then, given that the probability of a boy is approx 0.52, the probability of giving birth to three boys in a row is 0.523 = 0.1381


What is the probability of after six girls born the next child being a girl?

Oh, dude, the probability of the next child being a girl is still 50/50. Each birth is like a coin flip - it doesn't matter what came before. So, you could have a dozen girls in a row and the next one could still be a girl. It's all just random chance, man.


What is the probability of getting pregnant with birth control and a condom?

the probability is very small


What is the probability of randomly selecting a three-child family with exactly two girl children?

2/6 is not accurate. using a theoretical method for equally likely outcomes, there are 2 possible outcomes for each birth: either a boy(B), or a girl (G). For a family of three children, the total number of possibilities (birth orders) is 2*2*2=8 to double check this work, here are the eight possible outcomes:BBB, BBG, BGG, GBB, GBG, GGB, and GGG. You want EXACTLY two girls, this assumes that the other must be a boy. Therefore, the probability that a three child family has 2 girls one boy is P(2 girls)=3/8=0.375

A women gives birth too a son.Two years later she gives birth to another son.What is the probability that her third child will be a girl?

There is no simple answer to the question because the children's genders are not independent events. They depend on the parents' ages and their genes.However, if you assume that they are independent events then, the probability that the third child is a girl is the same as the probability that any birth is a girl - which is 0.48 across the world.

What is the probability of giving birth to twins?

about 1/300, but it also depends on age and family history

What type of plan is developed for students ages birth to 2 years who are experiencing a developmental delay or have high probability of a developmental delay?

An Individualized Family Service Plan (IFSP) is developed for children ages birth to 2 years who are experiencing a developmental delay or have a high probability of a developmental delay. This plan outlines specific goals, services, and interventions to support the child's development and involves the family in decision-making and implementation.

What is probability that 2 persons sharing same birth date?

The probability that two persons share the same birth date can be calculated using the concept of the birthday paradox. In a group of 23 people, there is a probability of approximately 50% that two individuals share the same birth date. This probability increases as the number of people in the group increases due to the increasing number of possible pairs to compare. The calculation involves considering the complementary probability of no one sharing a birthday and subtracting it from 1 to find the probability of at least one shared birthday.

What is known about shakespeares birth?

Not much is known about his birth. The record exists of his christening, on April 26th, and most children in Stratford in that period were christened three days after their birth; so it is reasonable to assume that Shakespeare's birth was on the 23rd, but there is no proof of it.
