What is the probability that in a group of two people, both will have the same birthday, assuming that there are 365 days in a year and no one has his/her birthday on 29th February?

We know that,


Probability of occurring = 1 - the probability of not occurring


Let’s calculate for the probability of not occurring, i.e. probability such that both of them don’t have a birthday on the same day. For suppose the first person has a birthday on a particular day then the other person can have a birthday in the remaining 364 days


Probability of not having the same birthday


Probability of having same birthday = 1 – probability of not having the same


Birthday




Conclusion: Probability of two persons having the same birthday is
