if a number is choosen between 100 and 999 includeing these
numberrs what is the provbabilty that the number selected
does not contain a 7 is

Answer Posted / seiko

no 0f 7's in 100 to 200 is
107,117,127,137,147,157,167,170,171,172,173,174,175,176,177,
178,179,187,197.
so total of 19 numbers between 100 and 199

repeat that for 200-299, 300-399,...,600-699, 800-899, 900-
999, we have 19*8 = 152 occurences

for 700-799, all 100 of them contain a 7

so total numbers contain a 7 is 152 + 100 = 252

total numbers between 100 and 999 is 900

probability = (900-252)/900 = 0.72
