How often will a specific date fall on a specific day?

Answer 1

It depends on the date. Each day of the year is slightly more likely to fall on some weekdays than on others. The odds of a certain date falling on a certain weekday will always be either 14%, 14.25%, or 14.5%.

For example, the odds of Christmas falling on a...

• ... Sunday are 14.5%.
• ... Monday are 14%.
• ... Tuesday are 14.5%.
• ... Wednesday are 14.25%.
• ... Thursday are 14.25%.
• ... Friday are 14.5%.
• ... Saturday are 14%.

The only exception is February 29:

• 13.40% are Sundays.
• 15.46% are Mondays.
• 13.40% are Tuesdays.
• 15.46% are Wednesdays.
• 13.40% are Thursday.
• 14.43% are Fridays.
• 14.43% are Saturdays.
