a. The probability is ___ , or about ____%.

Answer 1

The probability of creating the number 39 by randomly selecting two digits to create a two-digit number, where the first digit cannot be 0, is 1/90 or about 1.11%.

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability of creating the number 39 by randomly selecting two digits to create a two-digit number, where the first digit cannot be 0, can be calculated as follows:

1. There are a total of 90 possible two-digit numbers (excluding 00 to 09).
2. Out of these 90 numbers, only 1 number is 39.
3. Therefore, the probability of creating the number 39 is 1/90 when expressed as a fraction.
4. When rounded to the nearest hundredth of a percent, the probability is approximately 1.11%.
