    The probability that at least one person has the same birthday as you is equal to one minus the probabilit that no one has the same birthday as you. If r = 1, the probability that he has does not have the same birthday as you is 364/365. If r= 2, then the probability that both people have different birthdays than you is (364/365)^2. Can you take it from here?
