Answer: 41/365

Explanation:

The probability of being born in May is 31/365 (May has 31 days and there are 365 days in a year).

The probability of being born on the 30th of the month is 11/365 (11 months have at least 30 days). However, since we have included May 30 in our MAy probability, we need to use the probability of 10/365.

Add the two probabilities together, and the probability of being born in May or on the 30th is 31/365 + 10/365 = 41/365.
