Answer: D
To find the probability that a randomly selected -digit number is not divisible by , we can use the following steps:
Step 1: Find the total number of -digit integers
The -digit integers range from to inclusive.
Step 2: Find the number of -digit integers divisible by
The multiples of that are -digit numbers are:
These can be represented as , where ranges from (since ) to (since ).
Step 3: Find the number of -digit integers NOT divisible by
Step 4: Calculate the probability
