Question

What is the probability that a randomly selected person will have a birthday in march? assume that this person was not born in a leap year. express your answer as a simplified fraction or a decimal rounded to four decimal places?

Answer 1

Answer:

0.0849

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's consider the event: a birthday takes place in March. The probability (P) of such event is:

$P = \frac{favorable\ cases }{possible\ cases}$

The favorable cases are 31 because March has 31 days.

The possible cases are 365 because there are 365 days in a year.

The probability of a birthday being in March is:

$P=\frac{31}{365} =0.0849$

Answer 2

there are 31 days in August

 365 days in a year

31/365 = 0.0849 probability
