Pick a block of three digits from a random digit table. What is the probability that the block picked is less than 600?
-----
# of 3-digit numbers less than 600 = ?
Max = 599
Min = 100
# = 599-100 + 1 = 500
---
# of random 3-digit numbers = ?
Max = 999
Min = 100
# = 999-100+1 = 900
====
P(block well than 600) = 5/9
