The probability of not getting 53 Sundays in a leap year is |
$\frac{1}{7}$ $\frac{2}{7}$ $\frac{3}{7}$ $\frac{5}{7}$ |
$\frac{5}{7}$ |
The correct answer is Option (4) → $\frac{5}{7}$ A leap year has $366$ days. $366 = 52$ weeks $+ 2$ days. Hence two consecutive days in the week will occur $53$ times. Total possible ordered pairs of consecutive days = $7$. 53 Sundays occur only when Sunday is one of these two extra days, i.e., when the year starts on Saturday or Sunday. Number of favourable cases for getting $53$ Sundays = $2$. So, $P(\text{53 Sundays})=\frac{2}{7}$ $P(\text{not getting 53 Sundays})=1-\frac{2}{7}=\frac{5}{7}$ Final answer: $\frac{5}{7}$ |
