If a leap year is selected at random, what is the chance that it will contain 53 Tuesdays? |
|
Answer» In a leap year, there are 366 days i.e., 52 weeks and 2 days. In 52 weeks, there are 52 Tuesdays. Therefore, the probability that the leap year will contain 53 Tuesdays is equal to the probability that the remaining 2 days will be Tuesdays. The remaining 2 days can be Monday and Tuesday Tuesday and Wednesday Wednesday and Thursday Thursday and Friday Friday and Saturday Saturday and Sunday Sunday and Monday Total number of cases = 7 Favourable cases = 2 Probability that a leap year will have 53 Tuesdays = 2/7 |
