- W2341274380 abstract "What is the likelihood P( n, T ) that at least two people in a gathering of n people are born within a given time T of each other? In particular, for T = 24 hours what is the smallest n for which P( n, T ) is at least 50%? The well-known classic version of the birthday problem asks for the smallest number of people needed to give a better than 50% chance of at least one birthday match with the assumptions that the birthdays are independently selected from a discrete uniform distribution over 365 days. Using the calculus tool of the limit, we refine two characterisations for P( n, T ) and show that they give consistent results with each other and with the classic birthday problem as well. At first thought P( n , 24 hours) should answer the classic birthday question. Yet consider this experiment: suppose Andrea was born at noon on June 1, then potential matching birth times (for the other n - 1 people) with her birth time extend from noon on May 31 to noon on June 2, a period of 48 hours! What this period suggests is that P( n , 24hours) exceeds the classic answer. But, by how much? Read on." @default.
