Question 1167754: Many states in U.S.A have a lottery game, usually called a Pick-4, in which you pick a fourdigit number such as 7359. During the lottery drawing, there are four bins, each containing balls
numbered 0 through 9. One ball is drawn from each bin to form the four-digit winning number.
a. You purchase one ticket with one four-digit number. What is the probability that you will
win this lottery game?
The space of events has 10000 = elements
