Step-by-step explanation:
A 4 digit PIN is selected. What is the probability that there are no repeated digits?
There are 10 possible values for each digit of the PIN (namely: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9), so there are 10 × 10 × 10 × 10 = 104 = 10000 total possible PINs.
To have no repeated digits, all four digits would have to be different, which is selecting without replacement. We could either compute 10 × 9 × 8 × 7, or notice that this is the same as the permutation 10P4 = 5040.
The probability of no repeated digits is the number of 4 digit PINs with no repeated digits divided by the total number of 4 digit PINs. This probability is
10P4104=504010000=0.50410P4104=504010000=0.504
