As such, the likelihoo

31、d they share a birthday is 1 minus (364/365)1, or a probability of about 0.27%. If you assume a group of three people, the first two people cover two dates.

32、ay is I minus the product of (364/365) times (363/365), or a probability of about 0.82%. I-he more people in a group, the greater the chances that at least a pair of people will share a birthday. With 23 people, there is a 50.73% chance. Frost noted. With 57 people, there is a probability of 99%,The

In exchange fbr some service, suppose youre offered to be paid 1 cent on the first day, 2 cents on the second day, 4 cents on the third, 8 cents, 16 cents, and so on, fbr 30 days,* Frost said.
