Algebra (Math 1) Chapter 16 Probability Solutions

Q1. What is the probability that an ordinary year has 53 Sundays?

Ordinary year has 365 days

365 days = 52 weeks + 1 day

That 1 day may be Sun, Mon, Tue, Wed, Thu, Fri, Sat

Total no. of possible outcomes = 7

Let E ⟶ event of getting 53 Sundays

No. of favourable outcomes = 1 {Sun}

P(E) =`"No.of favorable outcomes"/"Total no.of possible outcomes"`=1/7
