Question 951518: Numbers that are palindromes read the same forward and backwards. For example, 30203 is a five digit palindrome. If a single number is chosen randomly from the set of all three digit numbers, find the probability that it will be palindromic. Answer by josmiceli(19441) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! You can't start a 3-digit number with , so
the number of possible 3-digit number is:
As for the palindromes:
[ 0 n 0 ] is not a valid number ( n is any number )
so, there are
I say the 3rd digit is because, once you choose the
1st digit, that determines the 3rd digit
The probability is:
Hope I got it
