Do you find it hard to believe that the probability of at least one birthday match in a class of 25 students is 0.57? Let’s simulate the answer.

Observe whether there is at least one match of two numbers out of the 25 simulated numbers.
a. Combine class results. What proportion of the simulations had at least one birthday match?
