The probability that no person has the same birthday month

3.5k Views Asked by At

If there are $12$ people in the room what the chances are that no two people will have the same birthday month?

I tried to think of it in this way:

The total number of options is $12^{12}$

The option that no one will have the same birthday month is:

$12 * 11 * ... 1$ which means $12!$

So I think the answer is:

$$\frac{12!}{12^{12}}=0.0000537$$

What do you think?

Thank you!
