    Answer: (a) 1/7
    Explanation:
    Non-leap year = 365 days
    365 days = 52 weeks + 1 day
    For 52 weeks, number of Sundays
    = 52
    1 remaining day can be Sunday,
    Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday,
    Thursday, Friday, Saturday,
    Sunday.
    Total possible outcomes = 7
    The number of favourable
    outcomes = 1
    Thus, the probability of getting 53
    Sundays = 1/7
