Ignoring leap days, the days of the year can be numbered 1 to 365. Assume that birthdays are equally likely to fall on any day of the year. Consider a group of 10 people, of which you are not a member. The sample space consists of all possible sequences of 10 birthdays (onefor each person). a. Define the probability function P for S.
b. Consider the following events:
1. "someone in the group shares your birthday";
2. "some two people in the group share a birthday";
3. "some three people in the group share a birthday". Carefully describe the subset of S that corresponds to each event.

c. Find an exact formula for P(A). What is the smallest m such that P(A) > .5?
d. Justify why m is greater than 365 without doing any computation. (We 3 are looking for 2 a short answer giving a heuristic sense of why this is so.)
e. Find an exact formula for P(B).
