A player has to guess a 5-digit code in an attempt to unlock a prize. If the digits are to be
chosen from the integers between 0 and 6 and they can be repeated, what is the probability
that the player guesses the correct code on the first try?

The probability that the player guesses the correct code on the first try is 1/16807

How to determine the probability that the player guesses the correct code on the first try?

The given parameters are:

  • Passcode = 5-digit
  • Possible digits = 0 - 6
  • Digits cannot be repeated

There are 7 digits between 0 and 6 (inclusive)

So, the total number of possible passwords is

Password = 7 * 7 * 7 * 7 * 7

This is so because each of the 5 digits can be any of the 5 digits.

This gives

Password = 16807

The probability that the player guesses the correct code on the first try is

P = 1/Password

This gives

P = 1/16807

Hence, the probability that the player guesses the correct code on the first try is 1/16807
