A leap year is 52 weeks plus 2 days. That means that 2 days have 53 instances. So there is a 2/7 chance that there will be 53 Fridays. There is absolutely no chance that there are 54 Sundays, since 53 is the most you can have.

Good luck.

The exact probability is 28/97, which is about 28.87%.

Your question is not clear.

Do you mean "52 Fridays in a leap year" or "53 Fridays in a leap year"?

If it's 52 then answer is '1', if it's 53 then the answer is '2/7'

A leap year has only 52 Sundays if it starts on any day of the week except Saturday or Sunday. The calendar repeats itself every 400 years, and every 400-year cycle includes 97 leap years. Of that 97, 15 start on a Sunday and 13 start on a Saturday. Therefore the probability of only 52 Sundays in a leap year is 69 out of 97 or about 71.13% (the other 28.87% have 53 Sundays).

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

Find the probability that the month of February in a year 2008 may have 5 Tuesdays?

Considering the fact that a non-leap year having 28days in February will definitely have 4 Tuesdays , we have to find the probability that the 29th day of a leap year (2008) is also a Tuesday. This probability is 1/7 i.e 1 out the probable 7days in a week ! Well this said, this question is void in a sense knowing that we are in 2010 and that February 2008 had 5 Fridays and therefore the probability of 5 Tuesdays is ZERO as of 2008 !

The year MUST start on a Sunday. For a leap year, it can start on Saturday or Sunday.

So the probability in a non-leap year is 43/303, or 14.2%. And the probability in a leap year is 28/97, or 28.9%

What is the probability to get a baby on saturday in a leap year?

The answer depends on where in the world you are - much more than whether or not it is a leap year. In some countries, a majority of births take place in hospitals or maternity units. Medical staff in such establishments do not like working on Saturdays and so the probability of getting a baby on a Saturday is less than 1/7.
