if you are told that a randomly selected person was born in the 1980's, what is the probability of guessing his/her exact birth date?

OpenStudy (yttrium):

I think it is 1/366

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how did you come to that?

OpenStudy (yttrium):

how many birthday does a person has? Only one, right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes, but there are 365 days in a year and since it says "in the 1980's" we are looking at 10 years...

OpenStudy (yttrium):

oh i'm sorry. i thought in just 1980

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lol no problem... I am not sure I am interpreting it correctly anyway

OpenStudy (yttrium):

lol i thought it's just the same 1/366
