Answer
In a leap year, there are 366 days.
366 days = 52 weeks + 2 days
These 2 days can be (Mon, Tue), (Tue, Wed), (Wed, Thu), (Thu, Fri), (Fri, Sat), (Sat, Sun), and (Sun, Mon).
Total number of possible outcomes = 7
Number of favourable outcomes (Getting Tuesday as one of the extra days) = 2 (i.e., (Mon, Tue), (Tue, Wed)).
P(Getting Tuesday as one of the extra days) =
=
Hence, the probability that a leap year will have 53 Tuesdays is .
