Question 1131418: How many different license plates can be made that have one letter followed by 4 digits(the digits are the numbers 0-9)?
What is the probability that one of these license plates (randomly selected) would be A-1234)? Answer by Edwin McCravy(20056) (Show Source):
There are 26 letters. There are 10000 sequences of 4 digits
from 0000 to 9999 inclusive.
So there are 26∙10000 = 260000 possible different license plates.
The probability that a randomly selected license plate is A-1234
is 1 out of 260000 or 1/260000.
