What is the probability that a leap year selected at random, will have either 53 Sundays or 53 Saturdays? |
$\frac{3}{7}$ $\frac{2}{7}$ $\frac{1}{7}$ $\frac{4}{7}$ |
$\frac{3}{7}$ |
We know that a Leap year has 366 Days that means 52 weeks and 2 extra days. The sample space for these 2 extra days is given below S = {(Sunday, Monday), (Monday, Tuesday), (Tuesday, Wednesday), (Wednesday, Thursday), (Thursday, Friday), (Friday, Saturday), (Saturday, Sunday))} There are 7 numbers of cases. Thus, possible events when a leap year has either 1 extra Sunday or Saturday = {(Sunday, Monday), (Friday, Saturday), (Saturday, Sunday))} = 3 cases Required Probability = 3/7
The correct answer is Option (1) → $\frac{3}{7}$ |
