Step by step Explanation:

In this question we have three-digit number from 000 to 999.irrespective of the number you pick,

The probability that you will win always remains 1/1000, whether you you have been playing for ten years and you didn't win or you have won thrice .

This can be explained with the situation of when you flipp coins, If you flip a fair coin for like ten times and get tails all through in a row, the chance to get that tail on the eleventh time is still 50/50

a)The probability of winning on next Tuesday and Wednesday is calculated as;

P(of winning on next Tuesday)=1/1000

P(of winning on next Wednesday)=1/1000

Then ,P(of winning on next Tuesday and Wednesday)=(1/1000)*(1/1000),

= 1/1,000,000

b) if you won on Tuesday,

P( of winning on Wednesday)= 1/1000.

c) if you didn't win on Tuesday,

P(of winning on Wednesday) = 1/1000.
