For a states lottery PICK 4 game a player must match a seque
For a state\'s lottery PICK 4 game, a player must match a sequence of four repeatable numbers, ranging from 0 to 9 in exact order (for example 4-9-6-2). For a single ticket, what is the probability of matching the four winning numbers?
Solution
There are 10 digits to choose from for every number drawn.
Thus, there are 10*10*10*10 = 10000 ways to draw.
Thus, the probability of winning is
P(win) = 1/10000 = 0.00001 [ANSWER]
