已知信息：
- 一个房间里有20个人。
- 每个人的生日都有可能出现在一年 365 天中的任何一天。
（a）房间里没有人同天生日的概率：
第一个人的生日可以是 365 天内的任何一天。
对于第二个人，剩余 364 天（共 365 天）可供选择，因此他们的生日与第一个人的生日不同。
对于第三个人，剩余 363 天（共 365 天）可供选择，因此他们的生日与前两个人不同。
继续这个过程，没有人同天生日的概率是：
概率 = (365/365) × (364/365) × (363/365) × ... × (346/365)
概率 = \frac{\left(365\cdot364\cdot363\ldots..346\right)}{365^{20}}
（b）恰好两个人有同一天生日的概率：
步骤1：计算从20个人中选择2个人的方法数。
选择 2 个人的方式数 = 20 的组合取 2 = (20 × 19) / (2 × 1) = 190
第 2 步：计算选择两个人共享生日的特定日子的方法数。
选择特定日期的方式数 = 365
步骤3：计算将剩余18个人分配到另外364天的方法数。
剩余18人的分配方式数=365p18/365^18
步骤 4：将步骤 1、2 和 3 的乘积除以可能结果的总数来计算概率。
可能结果总数 = 365^20
概率 = (190 × 365 × 365p18 / (365^18)) / (365^20)
（c）两个或两个以上的人有相同生日的概率：
两人或两人以上生日相同的概率 = 1 - 无人生日相同的概率
概率 = 1 - (365p20 / (365^20))
