Consider the following events : E 1 E = Selecting a leap year 22nd century E 2 E = Selecting a non-leap year from 22nd century A=There are 53 Sundays in a year of 22nd century We have, P ( E 1 ) = 25 100 , P ( E 2 ) = 75 100 P P ( A / E 1 ) = 2 7 and P ( A / E 2 ) = 1 7 P Required probability =P(A) = P ( ( A ∩ E 1 ) ∪ ( A ∩ E 2 ) ) = = P ( A ∩ E 1 ) + P ( A ∩ E 2 ) = = P ( E 1 ) P ( A / E 1 ) + P ( E 2 ) P ( A / E 2 ) = = 25 100 × 2 7 + 75 100 × 1 7 = 5 28 =
