Question

Use the theoretical method to determine the probability of the following event. A randomly selected person has a birthday in November

Answer 1

Answer:

There is an 8.22% probability that a randomly selected person has a birthday in November.

Step-by-step explanation:

The theoretical method to find the probability is the division of the number of desired outcomes by the number of total outcomes.

A randomly selected person has a birthday in November

There are 365 days in a year, so the number of total outcomes is 365.

There are 30 days in november, so the number of desired outcomes is 30.

So the probability is

$P = \frac{30}{365} = 0.0822$

There is an 8.22% probability that a randomly selected person has a birthday in November.
