If a leap year is selected at random, what is the chance that it will contain 53 Tuesdays?

उत्तर
A leap year has 366 days. It has 52 full weeks and 2 days left.
Both these days can be written as follows-
= {(Monday, Tuesday), (Tuesday, Wednesday), (Wednesday, Thursday), (Thursday, Friday), (Friday, Saturday), (Saturday, Sunday), (Sunday, Monday)}
Total number of such groups = 7
Out of these, Tuesday comes twice. i.e. (Monday, Tuesday), (Tuesday, Wednesday)
So the probability of having 53 Tuesdays in a leap year = `2/7`

Assume that the chances of a patient having a heart attack is 40%. Assuming that a meditation and yoga course reduces the risk of heart attack by 30% and prescription of certain drug reduces its chance by 25%. At a time a patient can choose any one of the two options with equal probabilities. It is given that after going through one of the two options, the patient selected at random suffers a heart attack. Find the probability that the patient followed a course of meditation and yoga. Interpret the result and state which of the above stated methods is more beneficial for the patient.
