Answer 2

Answer:

The probability for August to have five Sundays is $\frac{3}{7}$.

Step-by-step explanation:

Explanation:

There are 31 days in August, or 4 weeks and 3 extra days. Any of the following seven days any of the consecutive days of a week. Thus, there is a possibility that Sunday can be one of the days.

Extra three days  can be any one of the following,

• Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday

• Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday

• Wednesday, Thursday, Friday

• Thursday, Friday, Saturday

• Friday, Saturday, Sunday

• Saturday, Sunday, Monday

• Sunday, Monday, Tuesday

So, here we can see that Sunday appear in 3 of them.

Step 1:

So the total number of sample spaces is 7

and the possible outcome = 3

Therefore, the probability to have five Sundays in August = $\frac{3}{7}$.

Final answer:

Hence, the probability for August to have five Sundays is $\frac{3}{7}$.
