I can show if this is true for 100, this will be true for _any_ number. * As we are generating a random number within 100, the probability of each number being picked up is 1/100. * So the probability of getting a number within 85 is always 85/100. * Lets assume there are n requests to distribute. * Whatever be the value of n, the random number's probability of being in range <85 is 85/100. * So out of n requests, n*85/100 requests will always be routed to X irrespective of the value n. * Lets say n=10..So X gets 10*85/100 = 8.5 requests. * Lets say n=27 so X gets 27*85/100 = 22.95 requests. * If n=1, then the probability that X will get that particular requests is 85%.
