How many possible codes are there if the digits cannot be repeated? How many possible codes are there if the digits cannot be repeated?
A Store-It-All storage facility requires users to enter a four digit code, using numbers 0-9, to get through the gate. You need to get a box of winter clothes from your storage container, but you forgot the code.

What is the probability that you will guess the correct code on your first try?
P(correct code) = __

You have 10 different digits for the first place (that is, if 0 is allowed), when that is chosen, you have 9 left and so on, i.e.
Each of these codes has the same probability to be chosen if they are chosen totally randomly. Therefore
P(correct code)=
