Return to Question

this is my first question at Maths Stackexchange, so, first of all, hello world!

My question is, I recently read about the Birthday Paradox which states that in a group of 23 people, there's a probability of 50% that 2 people share their birthday, probability wise. I calculated and don't think it's possible that it's true in any case (unless my math is wrong). So, can anyone please tell me how to prove or disprove it mathematically ?

Also, I'm still 13, so, please try to make the solution a bit easily understandable. :D

Thanks in advance,
