Solution re: table of numeric integration | Comment 8 of 9 |
(In reply to table of numeric integration by Charlie)

BTW, that's


P(digit >= n) = 1 - Integ{0 to 1} e^(ln(digit/10)/x) dx

Since that's >=, each lower digit individually is found by subtracting from the previous.  The integration doesn't work out when seeking digit zero, but that's known to be 1; that is, the integration is zero and, subtracted from 1 is 1.
