Answer» The probability of a year being a leap year is1/4and being non-leap is3/4 A leap year has 366 days or 52 weeks and 2 odd days. The two odd days can be {Sunday,Monday},{Monday,Tuesday},{Tuesday,Wednesday},{Wednesday,Thursday},{Thursday,Friday},{Friday,Saturday},{Saturday,Sunday}. So there are 7 possibiliyies out of which 2 have a Sunday. Sothe probability of 53 Sundays in a leap year is2/7. A non-leap year has 365 days or 52 weeks and 1 odd day. The odd day can be Sunday,Monday, Tuesday,Wednesday,Thursday,Friday or Saturday. So there are 7 possibilities out of which 1 is favorable. Sothe probabilityof53 Sundays in non-leap year is1/7. |
