Question 1125661: A hacker is trying to guess someone's password. The hacker knows (somehow) that the password is 3 digits long, and that each digit could be a number between 0 and 5. Assume that the hacker makes random guesses. What is the probability that the hacker guesses the password on her first try? Round to six decimal places.
There are different codes of 3 digits long with the digits from 0 to 5 inclusively.
They are equally likely and only one of these codes work.
So the probability under the question is = 0.004630 (rounded to six decimal places).
