Question

What is the probability, in simplest form, that a digit picked at random from thefirst 100 digits of pi would be a 2?

Answer 1

The first 100 digits of pi are:

3.14159265358979323846264338327950288419716939937510 5820974944592307816406286208998628034825342117067

WE can see that the number of 2 in the first 100 digits if pi above occurs 12 times.

Therefore, the probability that a digit picked at random from the

first 100 digits of pi would be a 2 is:

`(12)/(100)\text{ = 0.12}`

ANSWER:

0.12
