A year is selected at random. What is the probability that it contains 53 Sundays

उत्तर
Probability of year being a leap year = `1/4`
Probability of year being non – leap year = `3/4`
A non – leap year has 365 days.
365 days = 52 weeks + 1 day.
52 weeks contain 52 Sundays.
In order to get 53 Sundays in a non – leap year the remaining I day must be a Sunday.
Remaining one day may be Sunday or Monday or Tuesday or Wednesday or Thursday or Friday or Saturday.
Probability of getting Sunday from the remaining one day = `1/7`
A leap year has 366 days.
366 days = 52 weeks + 2 odd days
52 weeks contain 52 Sundays.
In order to get 53 Sundays in a leap year the remaining 2 days must contain a Sunday.
Remaining Two days may be
S = (Sunday, Monday), (Monday, Tuesday), (Tuesday, Wednesday), (Wednesday, Thursday), (Thursday, Friday ), ( Friday, Saturday), (Saturday, Sunday)}
n(S) = 7
Let A be the event set of getting a Sunday then
A = {(Sunday, Monday), ( Saturday , Sunday)}
n(A) = 2
P(getting a Sunday from the remaining 2 days)
= `("n"("A"))/("n"("S"))`
= `2/7`
P(getting 53 Sundays in a year) = P(getting a leap year) × P(getting a Sunday from the remaining 2 days) + P(getting a non-leap year) × P(getting a Sunday from the remaining 1 day)
= `1/4 xx 2/7 + 3/4 xx 1/7`
= `2/28+ 3/28`
= `(2 + 3)/28`
= `5/28`
∴ Probability of getting 53 Sundays in a year = `5/28`

Three friends go to a restaurant to have pizza. They decide who will pay for the pizza by tossing a coin. It is decided that each one of them will toss a coin and if one person gets a different result (heads or tails) than the other two, that person would pay. If all three get the same result (all heads or all tails), they will toss again until they get a different result.
- What is the probability that all three friends will get the same result (all heads or all tails) in one round of tossing?
- What is the probability that they will get a different result in one round of tossing?
- What is the probability that they will need exactly four rounds of tossing to determine who would pay?
