Math Problem Statement
find the probability that it bears a two digit number from numbers 1 to 100 it bears a two digit number
Solution
To find the probability that a randomly chosen number from 1 to 100 is a two-digit number, follow these steps:
-
Determine the total possible outcomes:
The total number of numbers between 1 and 100 (inclusive) is 100. -
Determine the number of favorable outcomes:
A two-digit number is any number from 10 to 99.
So, the number of two-digit numbers is . -
Calculate the probability:
The probability of choosing a two-digit number is the ratio of favorable outcomes to total outcomes: Therefore, the probability of choosing a two-digit number is , or 90%.
Final Answer:
The probability is 0.9 (or 90%).
