What is the probability that a randomly selected person will have a birthday in December? 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

To find the probability that a randomly selected person will have a birthday in December, we need to consider that December has 31 days out of a total of 365 days in a non-leap year.

Therefore, the probability is:

P(birthday in December) = 31/365

This can be further simplified as a decimal:

P(birthday in December) ≈ 0.0849

So, the probability that a randomly selected person will have a birthday in December is approximately 0.0849 or 31/365.
