What are the odds for each of these three side-gigs that you will have to work over 30 hours during the school year (Sept-May)?

Answer 1

The odds for having to work over 30 hours during the school year are 2 months for Eric (May and Sept), 2 months for Ariel (Mar and Apr), and 3 months for Sebastian (Sept, Oct, May).

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the odds for each side gig that you will have to work over 30 hours during the school year (Sept-May), we need to look at the monthly hours for each job and count how many months have hours greater than 30.
