Question

find the probability of getting 53 fridays in a leap year.

Answer 1

Answer:

Every leap year have 366 days, i.e 52 weeks and 2 odd days (366/7 = 52 2/7). So if we find the probability for falling any one of the balance two odd day to fall in Friday is enough to find the probability of 53 Friday

Answer 2

Heyy

A leap year has 366 days. If we take the weeks, it has 52. Altogether, 52 weeks and 2 days. So, in all possibility, we are going to have 52 Fridays. The case left is of the remaining 2 days.

Now, the two days in order could be

Thursday & Friday

Friday & Saturday

There are in total 7 possibilities of these two days as the 1st day could be any one of the seven days and consequently the 2nd would be the adjacent day.

So, the probability of 53 Fridays turns out to be 2/7
