You randomly select a month of the year What is the probability that you select a month with 31 days in it?
There are 12 months to choose from There are 7 months with 31 days in them. The probability of choosing a 31-day month is 7/12.
What is the probability that a month will contain 28 days?
It is 1. Every month contains 28 days.
What is the probability of a month of January having 5 Sundays?
If a 31-day month starts on a Friday, Saturday or Sunday it will have 5 Sundays; if not it will have 4. So the probability is 3/7.
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 choosing a month starting with the letter m?
