Question

In the Pick 4​game, you win a straight bet by selecting fourdigits​ (with repetition​ allowed), each one from 0 to​ 9, and getting the same fourdigits in the exact order they are later drawn. What is the probability of winning this​ game?

Answer 1

Probability of winning the game: 1/10000

Explanation:

The nominator in the only outcome possible for you to win the bet. So that would be your only selected fourdigit number.

The denominator is the total possibles outcomes. If the first posible number is 0000 and the last number is 9999. There are a total of 10000 possible outcomes that the selected number is drawn.

The general rule is
`(p)/(q)`

Where p are the draws where i win.

And q is the total population of possible numbers.
