A group of sixty people is selected at random. What is the probability that at least two of them will have the same birthday?
i am going to ignore the 29th feb
so there are 365 days in a year.
what is the prob that their birthdays are all different
$$\\P(all \;diff)=1*\frac{364}{365}*\frac{363}{365}*...... \frac{365-n+1}{365}*\frac{365-60+1}{365}\\\\
P(all \;diff)=1*\frac{364}{365}*\frac{363}{365}*...... \frac{366-n}{365}*\frac{306}{365}\\\\
P(all \;diff)=\frac{364!}{305!(365)^{59}}\\\\
P( at least 2 the same)=1-\frac{364!}{305!(365)^{59}}$$
The calc is refusing to calculate this. I'll come back to it if time.
Anyway it is very likely.
