Answer

Final Answer: The probability of a randomly selected person having a birthday in November is \(\boxed{\frac{6}{73}}\).

Steps

Step 1 :The probability of an event is calculated by dividing the number of favorable outcomes by the total number of outcomes. In this case, the favorable outcome is a person having a birthday in November. Since there are 30 days in November, and assuming that a person is equally likely to be born on any day of the year, the total number of outcomes is 365 (the number of days in a year). Therefore, the probability of a randomly selected person having a birthday in November is \(\frac{30}{365}\).

Step 2 :By simplifying the fraction \(\frac{30}{365}\), we get \(\frac{6}{73}\).

Step 3 :Final Answer: The probability of a randomly selected person having a birthday in November is \(\boxed{\frac{6}{73}}\).
