What is the probability of guessing 8 numbers then one letter correctly, in order?
>>
>>7716365
100% because there are no wrong answers.
>>
1/(26*10^8)

small
>>
0% because there are an infinite amount of numbers

That is in order. Someone payed attention in stat class but was too stupid to understand what was being taught.

You've taken shitposting far beyond its limits

>>7716388
I believe he meant 0-9

1/8!•10^8•24

Slow down a little bit. Take a break for a second and look at what you just wrote on that screen in front of you. Ask yourself: is this okay? Is this the best that I can be?
>>
>>7716450
It's a number of ways without order.
>>
(10 nCr 8) × 26
>>
10^8*26 - with order

(10^8*26)/9! - without order
>>
>>7716468
meant nPr

>>7716459
24 because 24 hours in a day
>>
Where the fuck is everyone getting 10 from?
>>
is this a thinly veiled get thread?
>>
Someone post something about the Monty hall problem quick
>>
>>7716635
10 numbers counting 0.
>>
>>7716370
This guy gets it
>>
>>7716635
We're assuming op forgot to specify the numbers of the sequence are 0-9. How would you propose solving this if we could choose any number?
