107,117,127,137,147,157,167,170,171,172,173,174,175,176,177,178,
179,187,197 =19

lly for
200-299=19
300-399=19
400-499=19
500-599=19
600-699=19
now
700-799=100
800-899=19
900-999=19

total =8*19+100=152+100=252

Answer / ankit kumar

Total numbers between 100 & 999 = 900 (including both)

Possible combinations for conaiting 7:
7** = 1x9x9=81
*7* = 8x1x9=72
**7 = 72
77* = 9
7*7 = 9
*77 = 8
777 = 1
Total = 252
Therefore probability = 252/900 or 7/25

Answer / paresh

Total number between 100 and 900 are 888
from 700-799 total numbers are 100
100-199 numbers containing 7 are 107,117,...170-179,187,197
are 19
now total numbers from 100-900 except 700-799 are 19*7 = 133
so finally numbers containg 7 are = 133+100 = 233

Probability that number do not have 7 is = 1-233/888 = .737

Answer / vicky

total numbers between 100 and 999 is 888.
between 100 and 2oo,ther are 11 numbers with 7.
similar case for all the intervals.but from 700 to
8oo,there are 100 numbers with 7.
so,totally,
7*11+100=177
therefore,the probability of not having 7 is
1-(177/888)=0.8006
