There are 365
out of 365 ways to select the birthday of first person. Therefore the number of ways that we can
choose a birthday for second person is 364 out of 365.
Therefore the
probability of two persons not having the same birthday is,
`P(2) = 365/365
xx364/365`
For four people,
`P(4) = 365/365 xx 364/365 xx
363/365 xx 362/365`
`P(4) = 0.9836`
Therefore the probability of 4 people having different birthdays is
0.9836
