Answer:

0.8465²¹ = 0.0302

Step-by-step explanation:

If we assume that kids in the class are drawn from a population whose birthdays have the same probability on all days of the year, we have:

To not have a birthday in those 56 days, a kid should have his birthday in the remaining 309 days (365 - 56). Therefore, the probability of not having a birthday in those 56 days would be p = 309/365 = 0.8465.

Now we need that not only one, but 21 kids don't have a birthday in 56 days, this would be that the 1st kid doesn't have his birthday in those 56 days AND the second kid doesn't have it either AND the third either.... and so on for the 21 kids

This would give us that the probability is

p = 0.8465 x 0.8465 x 0.8465 x 0.8465 x...... x 0.8465  = 0.8465²¹ = 0.0302
