Question 2 • TN-Algebra II B SC 26-27 (For Credit)

A briefcase has a three-digit lock code that does not include zero as a digit.What is the probability that the lock code consists of all even digits if the same digit is not used more than once in the lock code?

Answer
2
24 out of 504
6
60 out of 504
2
24 out of 84
6
60 out of 84

Explanation

Since zero is not allowed, the code’s digits come from 1 through 9. There are 9 × 8 × 7 = 504 possible codes when no digit is repeated. The available even digits are 2, 4, 6, and 8, so the number of three-digit codes using distinct even digits is 4 × 3 × 2 = 24. Thus the probability is 24 out of 504, choice A.
