WHAT IS THE PROBABILITY THAT A NO. CHOSEN AT RANDOM FROM THE SET OF NATURAL NO.S CONTAINS THE NO. "7"?



SET OF NATURAL NO.S = 1,2,3,4,5,6, ... infinity



do tell me on what logic you get the answer... pls explain that...

probability of occuring all the digits is same.



hence 10x=1[x=probability of occuring 1,2,3,4,..9,0)



so the ans is 1/10



rate me if its correct

1/10 is not the correct answer

I agree with chinnu.
The probability comes out to be 1/10

The most incomprehensible thing about the world is that it is

at all comprehensible.

For one digit numbers it's 1/9


For two digit numbers it's 2/5


For three digit numbers it's 7/25


It's getting bigger, I don't think it's 1/10..


All events are not independent.. So I don't think you can use that logic..
