Question

What is the probability that a randomly selected person will have a birthday in march? assume that this person was not born in a leap year. express your answer as a simplified fraction or a decimal rounded to four decimal places?

Answer 1

0.0849

Explanation:

Let's consider the event: a birthday takes place in March. The probability (P) of such event is:

`P = (favorable\ cases )/(possible\ cases)`

The favorable cases are 31 because March has 31 days.

The possible cases are 365 because there are 365 days in a year.

The probability of a birthday being in March is:

`P=(31)/(365) =0.0849`

Answer 2

there are 31 days in August

365 days in a year

31/365 = 0.0849 probability
