What is the probability that in a classroom of x people, at least 2 will be born on the same day of the year (ignore leap year)? Use a Monte Carlo Simulation and a frequency table to write a program that calculates this probability, where the number of people (x) in the simulated class is given by the user.  The probability for a class of size 23, should be right around 50%.


I have an outline for the code but please only use python language and NO "break", "true" language


import math
import random


# create and initialize frequency table:
ft = []
k = 0
while(k < 365)="">
  ft.append(0)
  k = k+1


# Allow the user to determine class size:
print("Please type in how many people are in the class: ")
x= int(input())


success = 0


# Simulate:
c = 0
while(c < 10000)="">

  # Step 1:  re-initialize the birthday frequency table (it must be re-initialized for each play-through (why?):
  k = 0
  while(k < 365)="">
    ft[k] = 0
    k = k+1

  # Step 2:  randomly get x birthdays and update frequency table:
  k = 0
  while(k <>
    # your code goes here ##########################




    k = k+1

  # Step 3: Check to see if this class has at least two people with same b-day and update success appropriately
  k = 0
  while(k <>
    # your code goes here  #########################




    k = k+1

  c = c+1

print("The probability that in a class of ", end="")
print(x , end="")
print(" people, at least two have the same birthday is:  " , end="")
print(success/10000)
