The number 24 is a multiple of 6, and its reversal, 42, is also a multiple of 6.
What is the probability that the reversal of any randomly-chosen multiple of 6 is also a multiple of 6?
(In reply to
Benford's Law by Steve Herman)
I don't agree with using Benford here.
I do agree that it's not reasonable to try to choose a random number from an unbounded interval. But then your choice of interval can affect the answer.
The problem should have asked for the limit on (0,n) as n--> infinity to truly give the answer 4/9.
