'The Birthday Bet' printed from https://nrich.maths.org/

Show menu

What is the chance that one person's birthday is different from that of another person chosen at random ?

So what is the chance that their birthdays do match ?

Given that the first two did not match, what is the chance that a third person will not match with either of those first two ?

Can you now calculate the probability that all three birthdays are different ?
