Hi
Ok so for
a) We have to know how many days are in December - There are 31 days in December so the probability of selecting a day in December is 31/365
b) Ok on to the birthday question
We only have one birthday a year so surely the probability is as simple as 1/365 meaning one day in 365 days.
Hope this gives some help
