A safe has a 4-digit lock code that does not include zero as a digit and no digit is repeated. What is the probability

that the lock code consists of all even digits?

To find the total number of outcomes for this event, find the permutation of

ings taken 4 at a time.

The total number of outcomes is

The total number of favorable outcomes is a permutation of things taken 4 at a time

The probability that the lock code consists of all even digits is out of 3,024.

    Answer: the probability is of 0.79%

    Step-by-step explanation:

    There are 4 numbers, 0 not included, and there is no number repeated.

    First, the total number of combinations will be:

    c1 = 9*8*7*6 = 3024

    this is because the first number has 9 possibilities to chose, the second will have 8 possibilities, because one number is already taken, and so on.

    Now, we have 4 even numbers: 2, 4, 6, 8

    the total possible combinations of those 4 numbers are calculated in the same way: the first number has 4 possibilities, the second has 3, and so on

    c2 = 4*3*2*! = 24

    now, the probability that the code consists only in even numbers is equal to the number of combinations of only pair numbers divided the total number of combinations:

    p = c2/c1 = 24/3024 = 0.0079

    for a percentage, we multiply this number by 100%

    0.0079*100% = 0.79%

    To find the total number of outcomes for this event, find the permutation of ⇒ 9 things taken 4 at a time.

    The total number of outcomes is ⇒ 3,024.

    The total number of favorable outcomes is a permutation of ⇒ 4 things taken 4 at a time.

    The probability that the lock code consists of all even digits is ⇒ 24 out of 3,024.
