What is the probability that any non-leap year will have 53 Sundays? |
$\frac{1}{53}$ $\frac{2}{53}$ $\frac{1}{7}$ $\frac{2}{7}$ |
$\frac{1}{7}$ |
We know, A non-leap year has 365 days A year has 52 weeks. Hence there will be 52 Sundays for sure. 52 weeks = 52 x 7 = 364 days . 365– 364 = 1 day extra. In a non-leap year there will be 52 Sundays and 1day will be left. This 1 day can be Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, friday, Saturday, Sunday. Of these total 7 outcomes, the favourable outcomes are = 1. Hence the probability of getting 53 sundays = 1/7. |
