the size of the class does not matter. Assuming a random population,
P(April)=P(Oct) = 1/12
P of 3 students all in same month is thus (1/12)^3
Given two months, p is twice that.
so, the probability here is 2*(1/12)^3
P(April)=P(Oct) = 1/12
P of 3 students all in same month is thus (1/12)^3
Given two months, p is twice that.
