Question

Problem 50. The birthday problem. Consider n people who are attending a party. We assume that every person has an equal probability of being born on any day during the year, independent of everyone else, and ignore the additional complication presented by leap years (i.e., assume that nobody is born on February 29). What is the probability that each person has a distinct birthday?
