Answer:

(19/99) = 0.192

Explanation:

Numbers 1 to 99, that is 99 numbers (obtained through the equation for the nth term of an AP)

L = a + (n-1) d

L = nth term = 99

a = first term = 1

n = number of terms = ?

d = common difference = 1

99 = 1 + (n-1)1

n = 99

Sample space = 99

The numbers that include at least, a 1 are

1, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 21, 31, 41, 51, 61, 71, 81, 91

19 numbers.

Probability of randomly selecting a card where the number contains at least one digit 1 from 1 to 99 = (19/99) = 0.192

Hope this Helps!!!
