 P(two people share birthday) + P(no two people share birthday) = 1
 P(two people share birthday) = 1 - P(no two people share birthday).

Examples

1. BIRTHDAYPROBABILITY(3,30) = 0.1384203445582639
2. BIRTHDAYPROBABILITY(20,432) = 0.3686145731391096
3. BIRTHDAYPROBABILITY(30.3,765) = 0.44899395029084743
