Question 426016: If two people are selected at random, what is the probability that they were both born in winter (December, January, or February)? Answer by htmentor(1343) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Since there are 12 months in the year, the probability of a person being born in winter = 3/12.
The probability of BOTH people being born in winter is the product of the individual probabilities:
P(both) = 3/12*3/12 = 1/16.
