What is the probability that a leap year, selected at random will contain 53 Sundays?

A leap year has 366 days = 52 weeks + 2 days . That 2 days can be Sunday-Monday, Monday-Tuesday, Tuesday-Wednesday, Wednesday-Thursday,..., Saturday-Sunday. Total outcomes = 7 (Sun-Mon, Mon-Tue, Tue-Wed, Wed-Thu, Thu-Fri, Fri-Sat, Sat-Sun) Number of favourable outcomes i.e, Sunday, n E = 2 n S = 7 Required probability, P E = n E n S = 2 7
