Covering all birthdays

Read Original

This technical article explores the probability that a group of n people covers all 365 birthdays and calculates the expected number of people required to see every birthday at least once. It frames the problem as the classic Coupon Collector's Problem, using simulations and mathematical analysis, distinguishing it from the more common Birthday Paradox.
