Does anyone know how this 1 in 50 million probability is calculated? I would assume that the probability of a random person sharing your birthday is 1/365. So I would expect if you add a third person it would be (1/365)*(1/365) = 1/133225?
Where does the 1 in 50 million come from?
I get 1 in 50 million if I multiply *again* by 1/365 but where does this come from?
I’m probably overthinking reading HLN.
It’s 1/50 million to be all 3 born on a specific date. It’s 1/130k to be born all 3 on any random day.
This puts the day of conception around Christmas, September has a reason to be one of the months with the most births…
My aunt, her man and their child also born on the same day. My niece her child is born on a different day tho, broke the tradition tssk.
Well i count completly otherwise.
The parents could have met on purpose, knowing their birthday date before starting the relation.
Knowing a pregnancy is around 9 months. You can calcute what time you need to get pregnant.
So this reduce the chances by alot!
Some people are very fertile. Like me.. if her cyclus is good, every time without condom is a kid..
Easiest birthday remembrance date ever
That is still 6 times more likely to happen than winning the lottery
This would be impressive if you wouldnt be able to predict the outcome of when it would be born to about a 30days gap, if even.
Imo its about 1/30^3
From the article:
>eigenlijk was zijn geboorte ietsje vroeger voorzien, de 19de. Aangezien we een keizersnede moesten inplannen, mikten we op 23 september, dat is wanneer onze verloskundige van dienst is. Toen die hoorde dat we allebei jarig zijn op 21 september, besloot ze een zaaltje te boeken via een collega.
There was even less luck then all the reasons that were already given.
