What is the probability that two people in a room of 30 have the same birthday?
Approach: Calculate complementary probability that all birthdays are distinct.
1 - (365/365)*(364/365)*...*(336/365) ≈ 0.7063
Follow-up: How many people needed for probability > 0.5?
Key concepts: complementary probability, product rule.
