Answer:

Explanation:

Depends on what you consider a holiday. The federal government says that there are 12 holidays: New Year's Day, Martin Luther King Jr. Day, Inauguration Day (every four years: not considered), Presidents Day, Memorial Day, Juneteenth, Independence Day, Labor Day, Columbus Day, Veterans Day, Thanksgiving, and Christmas.
If new year's Day is on a Sunday:

Sunday: New Year's Day,

Saturday: Veteran's Day,

Monday: MLK, Presidents Day, Memorial Day, Labor Day, Columbus Day, Christmas.

Tuesday: Independence Day,

Wednesday:

Thursday: Thanksgiving,

Friday: Juneteenth
so all of the days MUST have a holiday except Wednesday. So there is a 6/7 chance that a Monday will have a holiday.
