Find the probability of getting 53 Sundays in a non-leap year? |
|
Answer» A non-leap year has 365 days A year has 52 weeks. Hence there will be 52 Sundays. 52 weeks = 52 x 7 = 364 days . 365– 364 = 1day extra. In a non-leap year there will be 52 Sundays and 1day will be left. This 1 day can be Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday,friday,Saturday, Sunday. Of these total 7 outcomes, the favourable outcomes are 1. Hence the probability of getting 53 Sundays = 1 / 7. |
