The probability that a number selected from random between 100 and 999 both inclusive will not contatin the digit 7?
Narendran26
For me I think it is conceptually easier to think about the probability that the number will contain the digit seven (and the probability that it does not contain the digit 7 is simply one minus the probability that it does).
P(number will contain 7) = P(number is in the seven hundreds) + P(number is not in seven hundreds)*[P(number is in the X hundred seventies)+P(number is not in the X hundred seventies)*P(number ends in seven)]
So essentially I am considering all of the numbers in the range that start with seven (i.e., are in the seven hundreds), then all of the numbers in the range that aren't in the seven hundreds but have a 7 in the tens place (i.e., the 170s, 270s, etc., and finally all the numbers that don't have a 7 in the hundred or tens place, but that end in 7).
Plugging the numbers into my formula above, I get (100/900)+(800/900)*((10/100)+(90/100)(1/10)) = 7/25 is probability that the number does contain a 7, and 1-(7/25)=18/25 is probability that it does not.

1. the probability of a particular outcome must always be between 0 and 100 inclusive True or False?
true
What is the probability that a randomly selected man between age 55 and 64 does not have this disease?
The answer will depend on what the disease is.
What is the probability that an event will definitely occur?
If the event will definitely occur, then its probability is 1.Not asked, but answered for completeness sake - if the event will definitely not occur, then its probability is 0. All probabilities lie between 0 and 1, inclusive.
What is the probability that a randomly selected case from a normally distributed distribution will have a score between -1.00 and the mean?
The answer is 0.1586
What are the differences between probability sampling and non probability sampling?
In a probability sample, each unit has the same probability of being included in the sample. Equivalently, given a sample size, each sample of that size from the population has the same probability of being selected. This is not true for non-probability sampling.
An integer between 1 and 30 all inclusive is selected at random what is the probability that the integer selected is a multipleof 5?
6 out of 30 ie 20% or 0.2
Can -49 be a probability?
No it can not; probability must be between 0 and 1, inclusive.
Can an event E have a probability of -1?
No; probability is between 0 and 1 inclusive.
What is difference between proportion and probability?
Proportion is the probability of a selected sample. probability is the true probability of all cases. If this is not what you are looking for then please specify.
Why the probability can never be 1 or less than 0?
Probability of 0 is impossible, and 1 is certain. So, probability must be between 0 and 1, inclusive.
What is the largest probability that can exist?
A probability must needs be a number between 0 and 1 (often expressed as 0% and 100%), inclusive.
Is it possible to have a probability greater than 100?
It is not possible to have a probability greater than 1. All probabilities are between 0 and 1, inclusive.
Can a probability be -0.0001?
No. All probabilities lie between 0 and 1 inclusive; -0.0001 is not in that range.
Do you write a probability as a fraction?
Yes, the probability of an event is a number between 0 and 1 (both inclusive). You can write it as a fraction - in rational form or as a percentage.
Range of values for proportion and probability?
A proportion is usually between 0 and 1. A probability is always between 0 and 1, inclusive; 0 being impossible and 1 being certain.
1. the probability of a particular outcome must always be between 0 and 100 inclusive True or False?
true
What does the probability of one mean?
A probability of one means that the outcome will definitely occur.Not asked, but answered for completeness sake - a probability of zero means that the outcome will definitely not occur. Probability always lies between zero and one, inclusive.
