Question 4 • Common Core Algebra II - MA3111 B-IC

A three-digit personal identification number is chosen using the digits 1–9. The digits cannot be repeated.What is the approximate probability that the first digit will be 6?

Answer
A
0.00595
B
0.03571
C
0.11111
D
0.66667

Explanation

Each of the digits 1 through 9 is equally likely to be the first digit. The probability that the first digit is 6 is therefore 1 out of 9, or approximately 0.11111. The fact that digits cannot repeat does not change the probability for the first digit.
