  1. p = prob(1st digit not 7)*prob(2nd digit not 7)*prob(3rd
    digit not 7)
    =(8/9)*(9/10)*(9/10)
    =0.72
    Sandhya had it right except that there are 900 numbers
    between 100 and 999 inclusive (not 899).

  2. no 0f 7’s in 100 to 200 is
    107,117,127,137,147,157,167,170,171,172,173,174,175,176,177,
    178,179,187,197.
    so total of 19 numbers between 100 and 199
    repeat that for 200-299, 300-399,…,600-699, 800-899, 900-
    999, we have 19*8 = 152 occurences
    for 700-799, all 100 of them contain a 7
    so total numbers contain a 7 is 152 + 100 = 252
    total numbers between 100 and 999 is 900
    probability = (900-252)/900 = 0.72
