Answer #1

Use the formula to find the probability that nobody has same birthday, 365!/365n (365 - n)!

n = 36

365!/ (36536)(365-36)!

= 0.1678

This is the probability that nobody has the same birthday, so the probability that two (or more) people have the same birthday is the complement of 0.1678

Required probability = 1 - 0.1678 = 0.8322
