Exercise 5.1.4

Answers

  • When the number n is 10,20,,˙100,,900,1000, we have its last digit as 0. There are 9 numbers ending with 0 from 199, there are 10 numbers ending with 0 for each hundred, e.g. 100199 and we also have 1000. So p0 = 1 1000(9 + 10 9 + 1) = 100 1000
  • There are 10 numbers ending with 1 between [1,100], and p1 = 100 1000 So we have pi = 100 1000 = 1 10 for i = 0,1,,9.

The mean of that last digit is thus m = 0 × 1 10 + 1 × 1 10 + + 9 × 1 10 = 4.5

The variance is σ2 = 02 × 1 10 + 12 × 1 10 + + 92 × 1 10 = 13.5
