The probability that two persons share the same birth date can be calculated using the concept of the birthday paradox. In a group of 23 people, there is a probability of approximately 50% that two individuals share the same birth date. This probability increases as the number of people in the group increases due to the increasing number of possible pairs to compare. The calculation involves considering the complementary probability of no one sharing a birthday and subtracting it from 1 to find the probability of at least one shared birthday.

If you assume that birth dates are uniformly distributed over the year (they are not), and you ignore leap years, then the probability of two people selected at random, share a birthday is 1/365.
