how can the probability for a group of 70+ people sharing a birthday be 1? what if their birthdays are each january 1st through to 12th April? :confused:

surely even with 364 people the probability isn't 1?


The line is actually asymptotic to the line y=1y=1 so it never touches 1, it's just looks like it does on that graph.
