A Probability Problem



        Is it possible that there are 53 Tuesdays in a non-leap year? What is the probability?

Answer:        ¹⁄₇. 52 x 7 = 364       364 + 1 =365 days there are 52 of each day plus 1 extra day. Thus the probability of anyone day of week occurring in a non-leap year is one-seventh.
