What is the probability that at least two people in a room of 30 share the same birthday, assuming that all birthdays are equally likely and independent of each other? How would this probability change if the room size is increased or decreased? Can this problem be generalized to larger groups? What other real-world scenarios can be modeled using the principles of probability theory?
