Question

Suppose your vehicle is licensed in a state that issues license plates that consist of three digits (between 0 and 9) followed by three letters (between A and Z). If a license number is selected randomly, what is the probability that yours is the one selected?

Answer 1

The probability that yours is the one selected is:

`(1)/(17576000)`

Explanation:

It is given that:

Your vehicle is licensed in a state that issues license plates that consist of three digits (between 0 and 9) followed by three letters (between A and Z).

The total number of license plates that are possible are:

10×10×10×26×26×26=17576000

Now, the probability that yours is the one selected is:

`(1)/(17576000)`
