  2. Birthday problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Birthday_problem

    Comparing p(n) = probability of a birthday match with q(n) = probability of matching your birthday. In the birthday problem, neither of the two people is chosen in advance. By contrast, the probability q(n) that at least one other person in a room of n other people has the same birthday as a particular person (for example, you) is given by

  3. Banach's matchbox problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Banach's_matchbox_problem

    Banach's match problem is a classic problem in probability attributed to Stefan Banach.Feller [1] says that the problem was inspired by a humorous reference to Banach's smoking habit in a speech honouring him by Hugo Steinhaus, but that it was not Banach who set the problem or provided an answer.

  4. Probability matching - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Probability_matching

    Probability matching is a decision strategy in which predictions of class membership are proportional to the class base rates.Thus, if in the training set positive examples are observed 60% of the time, and negative examples are observed 40% of the time, then the observer using a probability-matching strategy will predict (for unlabeled examples) a class label of "positive" on 60% of instances ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stable_marriage_problem

    In mathematics, economics, and computer science, the stable marriage problem (also stable matching problem) is the problem of finding a stable matching between two equally sized sets of elements given an ordering of preferences for each element. A matching is a bijection from the elements

    The probability of this happening is 1 in 13,983,816. The chance of winning can be demonstrated as follows: The first number drawn has a 1 in 49 chance of matching. When the draw comes to the second number, there are now only 48 balls left in the bag, because the balls are drawn without replacement .

  8. Hidden Matching Problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hidden_Matching_Problem

    By the birthday problem, the probability is close to 1 that at least two nodes in that subset are connected by an edge. In the same paper, the authors proposed a Boolean version of the problem, the Boolean Hidden Matching problem, and conjectured that the same quantum-classical gap holds for it as well. [1]

  9. Hall's marriage theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hall's_marriage_theorem

    G admits an X-perfect matching. G admits an X-perfect fractional matching. The implication follows directly from the fact that X-perfect matching is a special case of an X-perfect fractional matching, in which each weight is either 1 (if the edge is in the matching) or 0 (if it is not). G satisfies Hall's marriage condition.
