You are given that:
-
The course COMP 9999 runs over a period of one year, starting on January 1 and ending on December
31. There is one lecture every day; thus, the total number of lectures is 365.
-
Dania and Nick take this course. Dania's birthday is on November 19. Nick's birthday is on December
3.
-
Professor G. Ruesome teaches the course. Professor Ruesome decides to have 20 quizzes during the
year. For this, he chooses a uniformly random subset of 20 days; the quizzes will be on the 20
chosen days. (It is possible that there is a quiz on January 1.)
Determine the conditional probability $\Pr(B|C)$, where $B$ and $C$ are the events
- B = "there is a quiz on Nick's birthday",
- C = "there are exactly 5 quizzes in December".
