Answer:

The probability is $\frac{1}{n}$

Step-by-step explanation:

If she has n distinct password candidates and only one of which will successfully log her into a secure system, the probability that her first first successful login will be on her k-th try is:

If k=1

$P = \frac{1}{n}$

Because, in her first try she has n possibles options and just one give her a successful login.

If k=2

$P=\frac{n-1}{n} *\frac{1}{n-1} =\frac{1}{n}$

Because, in her first try she has n possibles options and n-1 that are not correct, then, she has n-1 possibles options and 1 of that give her a successful login.

If k=3

$P=\frac{n-1}{n} *\frac{n-2}{n-1} *\frac{1}{n-2} = \frac{1}{n}$

Because, in her first try she has n possibles options and n-1 that are not correct, then, she has n-1 possibles options and n-2 that are not correct and after that, she has n-2 possibles options and 1 give her a successful login.

Finally, no matter what is the value of k, the probability that her first successful login will be (exactly) on her k-th try is 1/n
