A computer system uses 5 digits numerical (from 0 to 9) passwords to provide access for resources, however, only one thousand passwords are valid. If all the valid passwords begin with a number zero and the hacker knows that, what is the probability that a randomly entered password will be valid? [The answer should be a number rounded to five decimal places, don't use symbols such as %]
