assuming that the probability of being born in may is equal to all other months then one person born in may is 1/12, so 2 people born in may is 1/12*1/12=1/144

What is the probability that a person chosen at random was born on a Saturday or Sunday?

2:7 edit: That makes the assumption that: -birth isn't induced for various reasons - people tend to try for induced births more on weekends so that it doesn't interfere with the work week -the ratio of people born on any given day of the week is 1:1:1:1:1:1:1


What is probability if 12 person born in different calendar month?

Rather a vague question. Are the people related? Obviously thousands of people are born in every month, so I guess you mean people who are connected in some way.


A women is going to have 6 children What is the probability that all 6 will be boys?

if we assume that the probability for a girl being born is the same as a boy being born: (1/2)^6 = 0.015625 = 1.5625%


What is the probability of being born on a Monday?

1 out of 7 I think so!


What is the probability that in a group of six people at least two were born in the same month?

For ease of answering, we will work under the assumption that the probability of someone being born within any given month is equal to that of any other month. Allowing that assumption, we can look at that question a slightly different way and say "What is the probability that all people in a group of six would each be born in a different month?" The answer to that would be 12/12 * 11/12 * 10/12 * 9/12 * 8/12 * 7/12, which can also be expressed as (12! / 6!) / 126, and comes out to 665280 / 2985984, which equals 385 / 1728. The probability of at least two being being born in the same month would then be: 1 - 385 / 1728 = 1343 / 1728 ≈ 0.7772, or approximately 77.72%

What is the probability of you and 2 complete random people sharing a birthday?

Birthdays are not uniformly distributed over the year. Also, if you were born on 29 February, for example, the probability would be much smaller. Ignoring these two factors, the probability is 0.0082


What is the probability of your birthday being the same as mine?

The probability of two people's birthday being the same is actually more likely than many would think. The key thing is to note that it doesn't matter what the first person's birthday is. All we need to work out is the probability that the second person has a birthday on any specific day. This probability is 1/365.25 The probability that they were born on June 10th is 1/365.25. The probability that they were born on February 2nd is 1/365.25 and the probability that they were born on the same day as you is 1/365.25

What is the probability that a person who was born in April was born after April 20?

There are 30 days in april. 10 of these days are after the 20th, so the probability will be 10 out of 30, or when we simplify 1 out of 3

What is the probability that a random person has a birthday in July?

A simple answer is 1/12 = 0.0833... since there are 12 months in a year, of which 1 has been selected. A slightly better estimate, allowing for the the fact that July has 31 days is 31/365 = 0.0849. Adjusting for leap years does not affect the probability at 4 decimal places. These answers assume that births are uniformly distributed over the year. In fact they are not but comprehensive information on births by month is not readily available.
