The probability of getting 53 Sundays in a non-leap year is 1/7 or approximately 0.1429.

To find the probability of getting 53 Sundays in a non-leap year, we divide the number of non-leap years with 53 Sundays by the total number of non-leap years. Since each year has 52 weeks and 1 day, for 53 Sundays to occur, the year must start on a Sunday. In a non-leap year, this happens once every 7 years. So, the probability is 1/7.

Probability = Number of favourable outcomes / Total number of events

Here, Number of favourable outcomes = 1

And, Total number of events = 7

So, Probability = 1/7

Thus, the probability of getting 53 Sundays in a non-leap year is 1/7.
