Problem

A number in the set is randomly selected. What is the probability that it is a two-digit number? Express your answer as a common fraction.
Solution
To count the number of numbers in this set, we subtract 49 from all of the numbers, giving the set , making it obvious that there are 950 numbers total. Furthermore, the set corresponds to the more easily counted by subtracting 49. So, the probability of selecting a two-digit number is .
Final answer
\frac{1}{19}
