(c) What is the probability that the sum of the numbers he gets is a multiple of 3?
Problem 2. Consider the numbers from one up to one trillion (1, 000, 000, 000, 000). (a) How many of these numbers do not have 9 as a digit? (b) We choose a number from the list at random. What is the probability of my number being even? (c) We choose two distinct numbers from the list at random. What is the probability of one of them being even?
