Compute the number of four-digits integers whose digits are all odd or all even.
First we compute the number of four-digit numbers whose
digits are all odd
There are 5 odd digits, 1,3,5,7,9.
We can choose the first odd digit 5 ways.
We can choose the second odd digit 5 ways.
We can choose the third odd digit 5 ways.
We can choose the fourth odd digit 5 ways.
That's 5·5·5·5 = 54 = 625 ways
Next we compute the number of four-digit numbers whose
digits are all even
There are 5 even digits, 0,2,4,6,8. The difference
between this and above is that 0 cannot be the first digit
of a 4 digit number.
We can choose the first even digit only 4 ways,
since it cannot be 0.
We can choose the second even digit 5 ways.
We can choose the third even digit 5 ways.
We can choose the fourth even digit 5 ways.
That's 4·5·5·5 = 4·53 = 500 ways.
So that's a total of 625+500 = 1125.
