How many people do you need in a room so that you expect that there is going to be a shared birthday on a monday of the year (assume 52 mondays in a year and 365 days in a year)? by "expect" we mean on expectation, there should be 1 pair of people that have a shared birthday'

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the year is having only 365 days (not a leap year)

P(anyday as birthday) = 1/365

Any body will have a chance of having on Monday the birthday

=52/365 (assuming 52 Mondays as given)

Hence we can expect 365/52 = 7.019

i.e. if 7.019 persons are present there will be a definite chance for any other person to share this birthday

Hence atleast 8 people we need in a room so that you expect that there is going to be a shared birthday on a Monday of the year

i think this could be a possible answer (1 / 84) -1

good luck! : d
