Question 287673: If you pick 2 random integers from 1-100 (repitition allowed), what is the probability they are both less than or equal to 50? both less than or equal to 25? both less than or equal to 20? Is it necessary they be integers?
I don't really know where to start here.

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
If you pick 2 random integers from 1-100 (repetition allowed),
If repetition is allowed the pick results are independent.
---------------
what is the probability they are both less than or equal to 50?
Ans: (49/100)^2
---
both less than or equal to 25?
Ans: (24/100)^2
-----------
both less than or equal to 20?
Ans: (19/100)^2
-------------
Is it necessary they be integers?
Not sure what is meant by this since you are selecting from integers.
