4. What is the probability that a randomly selected integer number between 1 and 1000 will not have a digit 7?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

subtract \[1000-7=your answer\] You know that 7 is put between the numbers only once... so subtract 1000 and to get your probability!!!

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

There are 1000 numbers from 1 to 1000. How many of them have the digit 7?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oops I read the question wrong my bad...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

? (For instance, 23 does not have a digit 7, but 73 and 277 both do.)

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

You need to count the numbers form 1 to 1000 that have the digit 7.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

why don't you say 10,20,30 and count how many numbers between each of them have a 7. it'll be faster that way

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1-P(one 7)-P(tewo 7's)-P(3 7's)

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

Here's a way of starting the count. Separate the numbers from 1 to 1000 into groups of 100. For example, start with integers from 1 to 100.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

btw, i assume that between means not inclusive of the end points 1 & 1000.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1-10 how many 7's? 10-20 how many 7's? now keep doing that in sections of 10

OpenStudy (anonymous):

isn't there any formula to do so? manual is the only way to count the number of 7's between 1- 1000?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no, that's the hard and confusing way. first, how many numbers total?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

make your own formula if you can...

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

From 1 to 100: 7 17 27 37 47 57 67 All 70's, there are 10 of them 87 97 That is a total of 19.

@pgpilot326 it's not confusing if you write the numbers on a sheet of paper...|dw:1394391423161:dw|
