The probability of not getting 53 Sundays in a leap year is
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
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: $\frac{5}{7}$
