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

re(3): First Steps? by Nick Reed)
I don't think it is necssary to plug in an assumed maximum number of pages, if you just you look at the (unknown) number of pages properly. For myself, I can only go so far until I reach a point where I've long forgotten (if I ever knew) what the next step is, but I posted what I have. maybe you can take it from there.
