Answer:
the answer is actually 23 people
Step-by-step explanation:
Bill Nye's birthday paradox can be explained in the following manner:
first we must find the probability that in a room with 23 people, no two people have the same birthday
probability of no two people having the same birthday = 365/365 x 364/365 x 363/365 x 362/365 ... you keep multiplying until 343/365 = 0.492703
so the probability that in a room with 23 people, no two people have the same birthday = 49.2703%
the probability of two people having the same birthday = 1 - probability of no two people having the same birthday = 1 - 49.2703% = 50.7297%
