Question

1. if a person is randomly selected, find the probability that his or her birthday is in may. ignore leap years. a) \\(\frac{1}{31}\\) b) \\(\frac{1}{12}\\) c) \\(\frac{31}{365}\\) d) \\(\frac{1}{365}\\)

Explanation:

Step1: Determine total days in a year

We ignore leap years, so a year has 365 days.

Step2: Determine days in May

May has 31 days.

Step3: Calculate probability

Probability is the number of favorable outcomes (days in May) divided by the number of total outcomes (days in a year). So the probability \( P = \frac{\text{Days in May}}{\text{Total days in a year}}=\frac{31}{365} \).

Answer:

C) \(\frac{31}{365}\)
