Birthdays---Challenging

Two people have birthdays on different dates of the same 30-day month. Assuming the dates of the birthdays are independent of one another, what is the probability the birthdays fall on the same day of the week each year?

Hi, there. I'm happy to provide a solution to this. :)

In a 30 day month, the following dates will always land on the same weekday:

Group A: 1-8-15-22-29
Group B: 2-9-16-23-30
Group C: 3-10-17-24
Group D: 4-11-18-25
Group E: 5-12-19-26
Group F: 6-13-20-27
Group G: 7-14-21-28

The thirty days break down into two groups of 5 days, and five groups of four days.

P(birthday on same day)
= P((A and A) or (B and B) or (C and C) or (D and D) or (E and E) or (F and F) or (G and G))
= (5/30)*(5/30) + (5/30)*(5/30) + (4/30)*(4/30) + (4/30)*(4/30) + (4/30)*(4/30) + (4/30)*(4/30) + (4/30)*(4/30)
= (25 + 25 + 16 + 16 + 16 + 16 + 16)/900
= 130/900 = 13/90

That's the probability of the two people having their birthdays on the same weekday in a 30-day month.

Please let me know if anyone reading this has any questions.

Mike :)
