Question 1139742: One hundred numbers, uniformly distributed in the interval (0, 1), are
generated by a computer. What is the probability that the largest number is at
most 0.9? Answer by ikleyn(52831) (Show Source):
It means that each and every of the 100 generated numbers is less or equal to 0.9.
The probability for every single such a number to be less or equal to 0.9 is exactly 0.9, due to uniform distribution.
Hence, the probability under the question is = = = 0.00265614%. ANSWER
