What’s the birthday paradox

880 views

So the birthday paradox is where if you’re in a room with 23 other people there’s a 50% chance of at least two people having the same birthday. Alternatively, In a room of 75 there’s a 99.9% chance of at least two people matching.

Why is this?

I used to be a cashier in college at a Walmart and there was this one guy that would go through my line to purchase alcohol. I once made the comment while checking his ID that we had the exact same birthday. It was the same day, month and year. I hope my birthday twin is living his best life right now.
