Roughly 1 in 4 or 25%.

More precisely, 24.25% since a year divisible by 100 is not a leap year unless it is divisible by 400. Thus there will be 97 leap years in 400 years.

So, in a 400-year period there are 97 leap years. The probability or relative frequency of leap years is, therefore, 97/400 = 0.2425
