Question

What is the probability of getting 53 Sundays in a Leapyear

Answer 1

Answer:

probability of getting 53 Sundays in a leap year is 2/7.

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of Days in leap year = 366

There're 52 weeks + 2 extra days

=> 52 weeks means 52 Sundays

Either of two rest days, maybe have a sunday.

Two days can be :

1. ( Sunday, monday )

2. ( Monday, Tuesday )

3. ( Tuesday, Wednesday )

4. ( Wednesday, Thursday )

5. ( Thursday, Friday )

6. ( Friday, Saturday )

7. ( Saturday, Sunday )

Total outcomes = 7

Now, favourable outcomes can be : ( Saturday, sunday ) and ( sunday, monday )

=> Favourable Outcomes = 2

___________________

Probability = (Favourable Outcomes)/(Total outcomes)

=> Probability ( of getting 53 sundays in leap year ) = 2/7

Therefore, probability of getting 53 Sundays in a leap year is 2/7.
