Q. Assume a birthday is equally likely to occur in each of the 365 days. In a group of 30 people, what is the probability that no two have birthdays on the same day?

Solution: Let S be the set of all possible birthdays for the 30 people. Since the first person can have their birthday on any of 365 days, as does the second, third and so on until the 30th person, 1754_Determine the probability of given question.gif
