Answer: 259/260 or 0.99615 (depending on which answer format your teacher wants)
There are 10 numbers in the set {0, 1, 2, ..., 9}. There are 26 letters in the set {A, B, C, ..., Z}. Multiply those values: 10*26 = 260. So there are 260 ways to pick a number followed by a letter. One example is 7P.
There is only one way Matthew can get the correct answer, and there are 260 - 1 = 259 ways to get the wrong answer. We divide 259 over 260 to get the probability of getting the incorrect answer, which is 259/260.
If you need this fraction in decimal form, then use a calculator to find that 259/260 = 0.99615 approximately

0.000036
Explanation:
When multiplying a number by 10 to the power of a positive exponent (e.g.
10
3
), move the decimal in the number that many spaces to the right (e.g.
4.5
⋅
10
3
=
4500
).
When multiplying a number by 10 to the power of a negative exponent (e.g.
10
−
4
), move the decimal in the number (the absolute value of) that many spaces to the left (e.g.
4.5
⋅
10
−
4
=
0.00045
).
