The answer depends on where in the world you are. In some places, where hospital [or maternity unit] births are more popular, the medical staff prefer to deliver babies during weekdays so that they can have time with their own families at weekends. As a result, the distribution of births is not uniform across days of the week.

What is the probability of at least one birthday match among a group of 41 people?

The probability of at least 1 match is equivalent to 1 minus the probability of there being no matches. The first person's birthday can fall on any day without a match, so the probability of no matches in a group of 1 is 365/365 = 1. The second person's birthday must also fall on a free day, the probability of which is 364/365 The probability of the third person also falling on a free day is 363/365, which we must multiply by the probability of the second person's birthday being free as this must also happen. So for a group of 3 the probability of no clashes is (363*364)/(365*365). Continuing this way, the probability of no matches in a group of 41 is (365*364*363*...326*325)/36541 This can also be written 365!/(324!*36541) Which comes to 0.09685... Therefore the probability of at least one match is 1 - 0.09685 = 0.9032 So the probability of at least one match is roughly 90%


What can I do about my birthday if my mother's birthday is the weekend before and my father's birthday is the weekend after?

You could pick which ever weekend you want and the opposite day of your parent. For example if your mom has a party on Saturday, then you could have a party on Sunday. Or celebrate your birthday with either parent but pick a different day to celebrate with friends.


What is the probability of your birthday being the same as mine?

The probability of two people's birthday being the same is actually more likely than many would think. The key thing is to note that it doesn't matter what the first person's birthday is. All we need to work out is the probability that the second person has a birthday on any specific day. This probability is 1/365.25 The probability that they were born on June 10th is 1/365.25. The probability that they were born on February 2nd is 1/365.25 and the probability that they were born on the same day as you is 1/365.25
