well i can answer number 4. its likely because in "any given year" means it will happen sooner or later, about once every 7 years, but im not sure how to solve this problem, i would think you would take the number of days in a year 365 and put that over the number of tuesdays in a year about 53 so 53/365 i suppose would be the chance of his birthday being on a tuesday since we have no clue the month, but other then that im not really sure on this question

Sorry ! :(
