What is the probability that a leap year will have 53 Fridays or 53 Saturday?

In a leap year we have 366 days. So everyday of a week comes 52 times in 364 days.


Now we have 2 days remaining.


These 2 days can be-


S = {MT, TW, WTh, ThF, FSa, SaSu, SuM}


Where S is the sample space.


As there are total 7 possibilities.


n(S) = 7


Let A denote the event of getting 53 Fridays and B denote event of getting 53 Saturdays.


We have to find P(A B)


Clearly,


P(A) = 2/7


P(B) = 2/7


And P(A B) = 1/7


P(A B) = 2/7 + 2/7 – 1/7 = 3/7
