Programming in Python - L42: Birthday paradox in python with random module

Welcome to Lecture 42 of the course "Programming in Python" by Prof. Sudarshan Iyengar. Full Course: https://study.iitm.ac.in/ds/course_pages/BSCS1002.html Video Overview In this lecture we dive into the fascinating concept of the Birthday Paradox which shows how surprisingly often two people in a group share the same birthday. Using Python we simulate this phenomenon with the random module by generating lists of random birth dates and analyzing the outcomes. This session demonstrates how Python can be used to model real world scenarios and verify interesting statistical concepts while strengthening your skills in probability and simulation.
