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

What is the probability that the first character is a number?

it is .277
because there are 26 letters in the alphabet, and 10 numbers given (0-9)
add both amount of characters: 26+10=36
then put a number of numbers over the total amount of characters: 10/36
now divide 10 by 36
and you will get .277777, but since you said by the nearest hundredth, estimate and get
=.277
