You are choosing a passcode for your new phone. It has to be a 6 digit code using the numbers 0-9. You are allowed to repeat a number if you would like. What is the probability that someone randomly guesses your combination on the first try?

Answer:

one in a million chance

Explanation:

he combination can be 000000 or 999999, or anything in between. Since the odds of getting each digit is 1/10, you multiply 1/10 by itself 6 times. There's literally a one in a million chance of guessing the PIN correctly.
