Answer: 20%

Explanation:

The given random list of numbers from 0 to 4 =
0,1,2,3,4

Therefore, the numbers in the list =5

Also, the number 4 representing a success.

Therefore the number of digits representing success = 1

Now, the probability of a success is given by :-


\text{P(success)}=\frac{\text{Number of digits representing }}{\text{Total digits}}\\\\\Rightarrow\text{P(success)}=(1)/(5)=0.2

In percent ,
0.2*100=20\%

Hence, the estimated probability of success = 20%
