The Problem

In a room of people, each person's birthday is independent and uniformly distributed over 365 days (ignore leap years).

  1. What is the probability that at least two people share a birthday?
  2. How many people are needed for this probability to exceed ?
  3. What is the probability that at least three people share a birthday? (Approximation is fine for large .)
