Since there are 5 choices and there are 10 possible digits for each digit of the PIN( 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9)

The total value possible 5 pins are 10⁵ = 100000

Using permutation, since 5 numbers are selected without repetition:


(n!)/((n-k)!)=(10!)/((10-5)!)=30240

The probability that no numbers are repeated is= 30240/ 100000

0.302
