Bascule is reading a book. What is the probability that the first digit of the page he is on is 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5?

a) obtain an expression
b) approximate a numerical value

ok. I am a moron. I have forgotten about my own html filtering system. AND, I made the wonderful conclusion that all numbers les than 600 begin with either 1,2,3,4 or 5 (ignoring numbers 6-9 and 60-90).

Carry on.
