Answer:

0.0792

Explanation:

Probability is the likelihood that an event is going to occur. The formula for probability is:

Probability = number of favorable outcomes / total number of outcomes.

Normally in a year there are 365 days and in the month of February there are 28 days but during a leap year there are 366 days in the year and 29 days in the month of February.

Probability that a selected day of a leap year is in February = 29 / 366 = 0.0792

The probability that a selected day of a leap year falls in February is 0.0792
