A car listens plate is made up of 7letters or numbers, where the numbers are whole numbers 0-9.

Suppose the license plate is randomly generated, one character at a time.

What is the probability the first character is a number?

Enter you sender as a decimal rounded to the nearest hundredth

there is 26 letters and 10 numbers, so a possibility of 36 different characters for each one

so probability of the first character being a number would be 10/36 as a fraction and 0.2777 ( the seven keeps repeating) as a decimal

rounded to nearest hundredth would be 0.28
