dBan
+12.6 dBan

About 95 in 100 modelled 28-day stays include the instant of a full Moon when their start points are uniform across the lunar cycle.

Calculation

p = 28 days / 29.530589 days ≈ 0.94817

Assumptions

The start phase is uniform and the synodic month is held constant at 29.530589 days. The model concerns the astronomical full-Moon instant and ignores weather, daylight, and the local horizon.
