number is selected randomly, what is the probability that yours is the one selected?

Answer:

10 x 10 x 10 x 26 x 26 x 26 = 1 out of 17,576,000

Explanation:

Multiply possible values. In this case, each license plate has 6 characters, the first 3 with 10 different options and the last 3 with 26 options.
