Are birthdays randomly distributed?

Birthdays are not randomly distributed. As a matter of fact, there is a slight bias to the latter half of the year. But, this isn’t just in the US, it’s in all societies.

Is the distribution of birthdays uniform?

In reality, birthdays are not uniformly distributed. The answer is that the probability of a match onlly becomes larger for any deviation from the uniform distribution.

Are birthdays evenly distributed across the year?

If births were evenly distributed throughout the year we would expect on average 1,800 births each day. But the average number of births on September 26 was around 2,000. Similar analysis using data for New Zealand and the U.S shows a larger number of babies born in September.

What day has the least amount of birthdays?

Christmas Day
According to the chart, Christmas Day is the least common birthday, followed by New Years Day, and Christmas Eve and the 4th of July.

Are birthdays equally likely?

With 23 people there is a 50.7\% probability that some of them will share the same birthday. 57 people are needed for a 99\% probability. But these figures assume a random distribution of birthdays throughout the population.

What is the number of people with a given birthday distribution?

We can conclude that the number of people with a given birthday is a binomial distribution with mean=n*p=1314.28 (328.57 for Feb. 29) and variance=n*p*q=1313.41 (329.03 for Feb 29). This is a graph of the actual observations with the expected values displayed.

What is the chance that two people have the same birthday?

If there are 2 people, the chance that they do not have the same birthday is 364 365 : So the chance that they do have the same birthday is 1 364 365 = 1 365 ˇ0:28\%: If there are 3 people, you and 2 others, the chance that neither of the other two shares your specific birthday is 364 365.

What is the probability of a Feb 29th birthdate?

If we hypothesize that the distribution of birthdays is uniform, then the probability of a birthdate (other than Feb. 29) is 1/365.25 and the probability of a Feb 29th birthdate is 1/1461.

What is the difference between z distribution and standard normal distribution?

Here is a histogram of the distribution of z statistics from the data with a standard normal distribution for comparison. The data z’s show much more dispersion than the standard normal with fewer observations near the mean and more observations further away. The analysis by day shows some interesting results.
