Example A group of 45 engineering students makes up a class. What are the probability that no two students have birthdays on the same day, regardless of their birth year? Assume that there are 365 days in a year and that births are equally likely on all of them to simplify the computation. What are the chances that several of the students in the class have birthdays on the same day?
