Probability
6 positive number are taken at random and multiplied together. Then what is the probability that the product ends in an odd digit other than 5
Read Solution (Total 7)
-
- Total no of ways is 10
Reqired selections
(i.e the selected digit must end with 1,3,7 or 9)
= 4
hence probability= 4/10= 2/5 - 11 years agoHelpfull: Yes(12) No(4)
- number ending with 1,3,7,9 should be taken
so (2/5)^4=16/625 - 11 years agoHelpfull: Yes(5) No(15)
- Answer is (4/10)^6 ....
Total Ways of getting any positive number = 10^6
To get an odd number (not having 5 in unit's place) we'll need - 1,3,7,9 and each of which will appear in 4^6 ways in unit's place.
so answer - (4/10)^6 - 11 years agoHelpfull: Yes(5) No(0)
- can any one tell me solution
- 11 years agoHelpfull: Yes(1) No(11)
- Ans is ---> 64/15625
- 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(1) No(0)
- shouvik ghosh your answer is correct..i checked it with another website
16/625 but i didnt understand how you did it. could you please explain? - 9 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(1)
- the unit digit must be odd according to the qs.....
so we hv 1,3,7,9...this 4 odd digit out of 10 positive digits excluding 5....
so probability of avalibilty of odd digits=4/10=2/5
but this is not the ans...bcz we cannot put the 4 digits at a time in unit digits place...its impossible...
so there any one out of the 4 digits can be...
so the probabilty is the no of ways in which that is possible and that is=(2/5)^4=16/625 - 9 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
