Answer:

There are 10 possible digits that could appear on the license plate: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9. Half of these digits (1, 3, 5, 7, and 9) are odd.

Since there are three digits on the license plate, there are 10x10x10 = 1000 possible license plates.

To find the probability that the last digit is odd, we need to find the number of license plates where the last digit is odd and divide by the total number of possible license plates:

Number of license plates where last digit is odd = 10x10x5 = 500 (since there are 5 odd digits to choose from for the last digit)

Total number of possible license plates = 10x10x10 = 1000

So the probability of selecting a license plate at random where the last digit is an odd number is:

500/1000 = 0.5 or 50%

Hope This Helps!
