What is the probability that any non-leap year will have 53 Sundays?

Solution

Correct Option: 3

A non-leap year has 365 days = 52 weeks + 1 extra day.

That extra day can be any of the 7 days of the week with equal probability. For 53 Sundays, the extra day must be Sunday.

P(53 Sundays) = 17\frac{1}{7}.
