Answer:
The probability of a correct guess on the first try is 0.024%.
Since a thief steals an atm card and must randomly guess the correct four -digit pin code from a 8 -key keypad, and repetition of digits is allowed, to determine what is the probability of a correct guess on the first try the following calculation must be performed:
8 x 8 x 8 x 8 = X
8 ^ 4 = X
4096 = X
1/4096 = X
0.000244140625 = X
0.000244140625 x 100 = 0.024%
Therefore, the probability of a correct guess on the first try is 0.024%
