What is the likelihood of selecting a 4-digit number in the win-4 lottery, where one digit appears exactly three times, given that each digit from 0 to 9 has an equal probability of being drawn in each of the four draws? Note that the number starts with 0 is a valid 4 digit-number such as 0001 is an option

What is the likelihood of selecting a 4-digit number in the win-4 lottery, where one digit appears exactly three times, given that each digit from 0 to 9 has an equal
Expert Solution
Step 1: Probability obtained.
The sequence of 4-digit number may be
0 three times with one : 0001, 0010, 0100, 1000 = 4
Similarly o three times with other numbers. Total is 10*4 = 40
We have 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 three times
Number of favourable arrangement is 10*40 = 400
Total number of arrangement is
Required probability = =0.4
