Suppose that a person's birthday is a uniformly random choice from the 365 days of a year (leap years are ignored), and one person's birthday is independent of the birthdays of other people. alex, betty and conlin are comparing birthdays. define these three events: a = {alex and betty have the same birthday} b = {betty and conlin have the same birthday} c = {conlin and alex have the same birthday} are these events independent?

    P (A ∩ B ∩ C) = 1/365

    P (A) = 1/365, P (B) = 1/365, P (C) = 365

    If events A, B and C are independed then P (A ∩ B ∩ C) = P (A) P (B) P (C) must be true,

    From the probabilities we have

    1/365≠ 1/365 * 1/365 * 1/365

    Thus, events A, B, C are not independent.
