Baffling Birthdays
Level 6
10 Points
Instructions
Your task is to estimate the birthday paradox's probabilities.
To do this, you need to:
- Generate random birthdates.
- Check if a collection of randomly generated birthdates contains at least two with the same birthday.
- Estimate the probability that at least two people in a group share the same birthday for different group sizes.
Note
A birthdate includes the full date of birth (year, month, and day), whereas a birthday refers only to the month and day, which repeat each year. Two birthdates with the same month and day correspond to the same birthday.
Caution
The birthday paradox assumes that:
- There are 365 possible birthdays (no leap years).
- Each birthday is equally likely (uniform distribution).
Your implementation must follow these assumptions.
