In a particular section of Class IX, 40 students were asked about the months of their birth and the following graph was prepared for the data so obtained:
Find the probability that a student of the class was born in August.
Solution:
Number of students born in the month of August = 6
Total number of students = 40
P $($ Students born in the month of August $)=\frac{\text { Number of students born in August }}{\text { Total number of students }}$
$=\frac{6}{40}=\frac{3}{20}$
Number of students born in the month of August = 6
Total number of students = 40
P $($ Students born in the month of August $)=\frac{\text { Number of students born in August }}{\text { Total number of students }}$
$=\frac{6}{40}=\frac{3}{20}$
