Question

you and your friend want to meet up to play fortnite on February 1st what is the probability that the date falls on a Wednesday​

Answer 1

Answer: 1/7

Step-by-step explanation: There are 7 days in a week. Hope this helps! ~Autumn~

Answer 2

the month of February has 28 days, one week has 7 days, so any day of the week can only occur 28/7 = 4 times on that month, so the chances of getting a Wednesday, namely the favorable outcomes is 4, 4 Wednesdays on the 28 days month.

now, the Wednesdays can be on any date along those 28 days, so the 28 days will be the sample space

$\bf \cfrac{\stackrel{\textit{favorable outcomes}}{4}}{\stackrel{\textit{possible outcomes}}{28}}\implies \cfrac{1}{7}\implies 0.\overline{142857}\implies \stackrel{\textit{about roughly}}{14.3\%}$
