    Possible, but very unlikely

    Step-by-step explanation:

    In a school of 150 students, the probability that at least two people have the same birthday is possible but very unlikely.

    In a year, we have 365 total possible birthdays. If one student was born on 1st of January say, then the second student has 364 possible birth-dates assuming that they have different birthdays. This implies there is a higher probability that the second student has a different birthday.

    Moreover, considering the school has only 150 students which is less than the total possible birth-days in a year, 365, the chances of two or more students sharing a birthday is possible but would be very unlikely.
