Question 6 • TN-Algebra II B SC 26-27 (For Credit)

A padlock has a four-digit code that includes digits from 0 to 9, inclusive.What is the probability that the code does not consist of all odd digits if the same digit is not used more than once in the code?

Answer
A
120 out of 5,040
B
120 out of 3,024
C
2,904 out of 3,024
D
4,920 out of 5,040

Explanation

There are 10 × 9 × 8 × 7 = 5,040 possible codes because digits cannot repeat. A code made entirely of odd digits uses 4 of the 5 odd digits, arranged in 5 × 4 × 3 × 2 = 120 ways. Therefore, 5,040 − 120 = 4,920 codes do not consist of all odd digits, so the probability is 4,920 out of 5,040, choice D.
