Sep 6, 2013 at 5:31 comment added Thomas My question is assuming that the distribution is uniform.
Sep 6, 2013 at 5:10 comment added DBFdalwayse Notice that the number 23 uses the assumption that birthdays are equally distributed, i.e., that every birthday is equally-likely, with probability 1/365 (or 1/366). There is data that puts this into doubt, at least in the U.S.
Sep 6, 2013 at 5:04 comment added Thomas The linked question asks for the probability for 30 people. What I want is the amount of people needed for the probability to be above 50%.
