No. of students in the group is 3. 

Probability of 2 students not having the same birthday is 0.992. 

Then possibility of having the same birthday = 1 – 0.992 = 0.008.

Let E be the event of 2 students having the same birthday and _E’ be the event of not getting the same birthday 

Given: 

P(E) = 0.992 

We know that, 

P(E) + P(E’) = 1 

∴ P(E’) = 1 – P(E) 

= 1 – 0.992 

= 0.008
