Answer #1

Answer: 0.5073

Explanation:

Probability that at least one person shares same Birthday in class of 23 students = 1- Probability that no person shares a birthday.

Probability that no person shares a birthday

365! 34213652 4.22008193E + 58 0.4927 28.5651679e58

Probability that at least one person shares same Birthday in class of 23 students = 1-04927 = 0.5073

The above formula for Probability that no person shares a birthday comes from the following logic:

The first person can have any of 365 days as his birthday, so he has a probability of 365/365 happening

the next person can have only day from remaining 364 days, which has a probability of 364/365 happening

next person can have a day among remaining 363 days, which has a probability of 363/365 happening,

Similarly continuing upto 23 person, 23rd person will have a different date with probability = 343/365

So, the overall probability, as everyone's birthday is independent, we have

Probability that no person shares a birthday

=\frac{365}{365}*\frac{364}{365}*\frac{363}{365}*....\frac{343}{365}=\frac{365!}{342!}*\frac{1}{365^{23}}
