What is the probability that a leap year has 53 Sundays?a)7/8b)4/5c)2/...
This is pretty straight forward.
There are 366 days in a leap year, i.e, 1 more than a normal year.
Now, 52 weeks make up 344 days (52 x 7 = 344)
That means that we already have 52 sundays for sure.
Then, we are left with 2 days. Now, these days can be any from a pair of- mon-tues,tues-wed,wed-thurs,thurs-fri,fri-sat,sat-sun,sun-mon. Here favourable cases are sat-sun and sun-mon i.e, 2 cases and total number of cases is 7.
So, Probability=number of favourable cases/Total number of cases.
Therefore, Probability= 2/7.
