Following table shows the birth month of 40 students of class IX.

Given:

The birth month of 40 students of class IX.

To do:

We have to find the probability that a student was born in August.

Solution:

Total number of students $=40$

Number of students born in August $=6$

We know that,

Probability of an event=$ \frac{Number \ of \ favourable \ outcomes}{Total \ number \ of \ outcomes}$

Therefore,

Probability that the student was born in August $=\frac{6}{40}$

$=0.15$

This implies,

The probability that the student was born in August is $0.15$.
