The Birthday Paradox

  • How many people need to be in a room before there’s a 50% chance that two of them share the same birthday? Is it about 180, since that’s around half of 365? Is it only 100? The real answer is surprisingly much, much smaller.
    If you have just 23 people in a room, the odds of whether two get presents on the same day is a coin flip. Get 50 people together and that shared-birthday probability skyrockets to 97%. A handful more and it’s a virtual statistical certainty.
    Really? Yes, really! With the aid of tiny plastic babies and some mathematics, Kevin proves and visualizes this surprising veridical paradox.

    I am a highschool teacher and this explains why, when anyone has their birthday, someone else will say "me/my dad/mom/sister also has a birthday today". That is, if you count 23 students in class plus 3 relatives at home each, gives a total of about 90 people and the chance is close to 100%. Makes sense after all!

      @@Checkmate777when I first thought about it, I was thinking you choose 2 random people and it’s a 50% chance of them having the same birthday, that’s wrong. He’s saying that 23 people in a room pair up with each other to see if they have the same birthday, that’s 253 pairs which greatly increases the probability. Now you take 253 (number of pairs) times 1/365 (the chance of any pair having the same birthday.) that equals around 69%. But that means that with any more than 365 pairs the chance surpasses 100% which isn’t possible so the chance decreases to about 50%. Hope that helps.

    For anyone curious about the formula, it's a simple factorial where you remove lower numbers, keeping the higher numbers starting from 365 as you calculate the chance of NOT getting a matching date.
    For n = # of babies (23)
    And d = # of days (365)
    Chance of 2 with same date:
    = 1 - (d!/(d-n)!) / d^n
    Side note: factorial doesn't work how you would want it to when there is 1 more baby than the number of days(should multiply by 0, but the factorial of 0 equals 1)

    The probability is arguably higher than what you solved for, if we allow cases where we do not "stop at 2", we check further if two other babies have the same birthday in that group as well, and so on.
    Now if we sum it up we end up at 20 people is on average needed to generate a 50.5% chance of shared birthdays, due to multiples groups at times.
    There are other cases as well that can further increase such a number, say 3+ share the same birthday as well.

    There is a much better way for explaining this. Pretend you are in a room of 122 people excluding you, now you have a one in three chance of sharing a birthday with another person, because there are exactly as many people as one third the amount of days in a year, which is intuitive and makes sense. Now here's the trick EVERYONE has a one in three chance of sharing a birthday with someone else in this room because of the amount of people, now 99.99997% make more sense in a room of 100 people

    A lot of people are misunderstanding this, saying something along the line of “but there are 100 people in my ______ and I share a birthday with none of them”. The probability here is saying there’s a 99.7% chance that at least two in the sample will share a birthday not that you specifically will.

    Of course, in real life circumstances, there is always the parameter of babies being born more often during a specific time of the season (for example, the baby is made during summertime, where people are more free to reproduce), thus springtime producing more babies. Or couples being more intimate during christmas, thus resulting in the same outcome. This means that these possibilities can heavily vary, but that's not the important thing. What matters is for the human mind to be able to grasp how something can seem so unreasonble at first, but in reality making a lot of sense.

    This was once explained in a statistics class. One student just couldn't believe it so the lecturer asked everyone to share their birthday in turns. I think we had gone through only 10 students when it turned out two persons had birthday ON THAT EXACT DAY. This was a literal "and then everyone clapped" moment as, well, everyone did.
