Find the Probability of Getting 53 Sundays in a Non Leap Year (1) 2/7 (2) 1/7 (3) 1/5 (4) 1/9

Answer: (2) 1/7

A non-leap year (or a common year) is composed of 365 days. There are 52.142857 weeks (52 weeks and 1 day) in 365 days (calculated as 365/7 = 52.142857).

As a result, there are 52 Sundays in a non-leap year. But one leftover day apart from those 52 weeks can be either a Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, or a Sunday.

Probability = (Number of favourable outcomes /Total number of events)

Here, Number of favourable outcomes = 1

          And, Total number of events are = 7

So, Probability = 1/7

Therefore, the probability of getting 53 sundays in a non leap year is 1/7.
