$${we}\:{want}\:{p}. \\ $$$$\mathrm{1}−{p}\:{is}\:{the}\:{probability}\:{all}\:\mathrm{23}\:{people}\:{have}\:{different} \\ $$$${birthdays}. \\ $$$$\Rightarrow\mathrm{1}−{p}=\frac{\mathrm{365}.\mathrm{364}.\mathrm{363}...\mathrm{343}}{\mathrm{365}.\mathrm{365}.\mathrm{365}...\mathrm{365}}\approx\mathrm{0}.\mathrm{4927} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow{p}\approx\mathrm{50}.\mathrm{7\%} \\ $$
