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:

  1. Determine the total possible outcomes:
    The total number of numbers between 1 and 100 (inclusive) is 100.

  2. 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 9910+1=9099 - 10 + 1 = 90.

  3. Calculate the probability:
    The probability PP of choosing a two-digit number is the ratio of favorable outcomes to total outcomes: P=favorable outcomestotal outcomes=90100=0.9P = \frac{\text{favorable outcomes}}{\text{total outcomes}} = \frac{90}{100} = 0.9 Therefore, the probability of choosing a two-digit number is 0.90.9, or 90%.

Final Answer:

The probability is 0.9 (or 90%).
