ABSTRACT
The problem of birthday is an ancient and interesting problem in probability theory. The traditional birthday problem has a conclusion that the probability of the same birthday among people will reach 50% when the number of people reached 23. This study studies the issue of people with a given distribution and discusses the probability that people have the same birthday among a given crowd.
