The Correct Option is B
Solution and Explanation
There are 28 students in a class : all born in 1990.
The probability that all their birthdays are in February. \(=\frac{1}{2}\)
The probability that all their birthdays fall on a Friday. \(=\frac{1}{7}\)
The chances that all will be born on a particular day of the week is thus higher than the chances of them all being born in the same month.So the correct option is (B)
The probability that all their birthdays are in February. \(=\frac{1}{2}\)
The probability that all their birthdays fall on a Friday. \(=\frac{1}{7}\)
The chances that all will be born on a particular day of the week is thus higher than the chances of them all being born in the same month.So the correct option is (B)
