If you have two people in a room, the probability that they share a birthday is really, really small. On the other hand, once there are 400 people in a room it's absolutely certain that some two of them will share a birthday. So as you add people to the room, the probability of a shared birthday, any shared birthday, goes from nearly zero right up to 1.
The probability that at least one pair share a birthday = 1 - p If there are 23 or more (randomly chosen) people in a group then there is a more than even chance that two will share a birthday
