Best Preparation Strategy - 30 Days to CMAT


The countdown has begun. With just 30 days to go for CMAT  2016, this is probably going to be the most important phase of your CMAT preparations. This is quite a tricky phase, because almost all of you are already done with solving all the modules at least twice and are pretty much confident about your concepts but, still there is a that stupid feeling of unpreparedness or fear of exam that keeps lurking around in some corner of your mind. 



Believe me when I say this, the only way to overcome your fear of exams is to face it as Dale Carnegie aptly said “Do the thing you fear, and continue to do so. This is the quickest and surest way of all victory over fear”.

Puzzle on Line and Angle - What are the chances that at least two out of a group of fifty people

Question:  What are the chances that at least two out of a group of fifty people share the same birthday?

Answer:
The probability of at least two out of a group of 50 people share the same birthday is 97%

Solution:
Probability of at least two share the same birthday = 1 - probability of all 50 have different birthdays

Probability of all 50 have different birthday
= 365/365 * 364/365 * 363/365 * ... * 317/365 * 316/365
= (365 * 364 * 363 * 362 * ... * 317 * 316)/36550
= 0.0296264

Probability of at least two share the same birthday
= 1 - 0.0296264
= 0.9703735
= 97% approx.

Thus, the probability of at least two out of a group of 50 people share the same birthday is 97%.
