If the man arrives at a time uniformly distributed between 11:35 and 12:10 and if the woman independently arrives at a time uniformly distributed between 11:50 and 12:30, what is the probability that the first to arrive waits no longer than 55 minutes?arrow_forwardA person’s birthday occurs on a day i with probability P i , where i = 1, ..., n. (Of course, P 1 + ... + P 2 = 1.) Assume independent assignment of birthdays among different people. In a room with k people, let P k = P k (p 1 , ..., p n ) be the probability that no two persons share a birthday. Show that this probability is maximized when all birthdays are equally likely: p i = 1/n ∀i.arrow_forwardNumber 21arrow_forward
