A year= 365 days.
A leap year= 366 days.
A year has fifty two weeks. Hence there will be fifty two Wednesdays for sure.
fifty two weeks = 52×7= 364 days.
366-364=2.
in a leap year there will be fifty two Wednesdays and two days will be left.
These two days can be:
Sunday, Monday
Monday, Tuesday
Tuesday, Wednesday
Wednesday, Thursday
Thursday, Friday
Friday, Saturday
Saturday, Sunday.
Of these total 7 outcomes, the favourable out comes are 2.
Hence the probability of getting 53 Wednesdays in a leap year=2/7.

Answer:
hey the answer is below :)
Step-by-step explanation:
Let P(E) be the event of probability of getting 53 wednesdays
A leap year consist of 366 days
365 = 52 × 7= 364 days and 2 days left from the complete weeks
This two days can be (Sun, Mon), (Mon, Tue), (Tue, Wed), (Wed,Thu), (Thu, Fri) (Fri,Sat) and (Sat, Sun)
Out of these 7 pairs, 2 of them have wednesday
So, number of favourable outcome to the event P(E) = 2
Total outcomes = 7
The probability of getting 53 mondays= 2/ 7
