Snapchat: A platfbnn imitates real-life parentingDHeres a fun brain teaser: How large docs a random group of people have to be for there to be a 50% chance that at least two of the people will share a birthday? The answer is 23, which surprises man
28、y people. How is this possible?When thinking about this question, known as the birthday problem or the birthday paradox in statistics, many people intuitively(直觉上也)guess 183, since that is half of all possible birthdays, given how there arc generally 365 days in a year. Unfortunately, intuition ofte
29、n fares poorly at this kind of statistical problem.To calculate the answer to the birthday problem, Jim Frost, a statistician who has written three books about statistics and is a regular columnist fbr the American Society of Qualitys Statistics Digest, began with a few assumptions. First, he ignore
30、s leap years, since that simplifies the math and does not change the results by much. He also assumed that all birthdays have an equal chance of happening.If you start with a group of two people, the chance (he first person docs not share a birthday with the second is 364/365. As such, the likelihoo
31、d they share a birthday is 1 minus (364/365)1, or a probability of about 0.27%. If you assume a group of three people, the first two people cover two dates. This means the chance the third person docs not share a birthday with the other two is 363/365. As such, the likelihood they all share a birthd
32、ay is I minus the product of (364/365) times (363/365), or a probability of about 0.82%. I-he more people in a group, the greater the chances that at least a pair of people will share a birthday. With 23 people, there is a 50.73% chance. Frost noted. With 57 people, there is a probability of 99%,The
33、 birthday problem is related to another exponential(指数的)growth problem. Frost noted. In exchange fbr some service, suppose youre offered to be paid 1 cent on the first day, 2 cents on the second day, 4 cents on the third, 8 cents, 16 cents, and so on, fbr 30 days,* Frost said. MIs that a good deal?
34、Most people think its a bad deal, but thanks to exponential growth, youll have a total of $10.7 million on the 30th day.12.

36、 according to Frost?A. By multiplying the salary of the previous day by the salary of the next day.B. By daydreaming of becoming a millionaire.C. By making your salary of the next day twice that of the previous day.D. By working hard day and night to raise the probability. 第二节(共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内
