Question

Suppose your vehicle is licensed in a state that issues license plates that consist of three digits (between 0 and 9) followed by three letters (between a and z). if a license number is selected randomly, what is the probability that yours is the one selected? round the answer to 10 decimal places (e.g.0.0123456789).

Answer 1

There are 10³×26³ = 17,576,000 possible different plates. If any of those is randomly chosen, the probability of picking one in particular is

... 1/17576000 ≈ 0.0000000569
