P = 1 - P(365,50)/365^50 = 1 - 365!/315!/365^50 = 1 - 0.029626 = 0.970374

P(365,50) is the permutation of all possible ways to distribute 50 b-days. (no repeat)

365^50 represent all possible ways of arranging 50 bdays.

and you will get the probability of more than 1 ppl has the same bday. then subtracted by 1, u will get the answer :D

you forgot if somebody was born in leap year, then his birthday is Feb 29. And the probability of a random people has this birthday is approximately 97/400 of other days.
