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.
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.
