This is tough may be not for u

Number are selected at random, one at a time,from the two-digit number 00 , 01 , 02 , 03 , . . . 99 00,01,02,03,...99 with replacement.An event E E occurs if and only if the product of the two digits of selected number is 18 18 .If four numbers are selected, the probability that the event E E occurs at least 3 3 times ,is k ( 25 ) 4 \frac{k}{(25)^{4}} ,find the value of k k


The answer is 97.

E E occurs when the selected number is one of { 29 , 92 , 36 , 63 } \{29, 92, 36, 63\} .

Probability that E E occurs 1 1 times for 1 1 number = 1 25 = \frac{1}{25}

Probability that E E occurs 3 3 times for 4 4 numbers = 4 × 1 25 × 1 25 × 1 25 × 24 25 = 96 2 5 4 = 4 \times \frac{1}{25} \times \frac{1}{25} \times \frac{1}{25} \times \frac{24}{25} = \frac{96}{25^4}

Probability that E E occurs 4 4 times for 4 4 numbers = 1 25 × 1 25 × 1 25 × 1 25 = 1 2 5 4 = \frac{1}{25} \times \frac{1}{25} \times \frac{1}{25} \times \frac{1}{25} = \frac{1}{25^4}

Probability that E E occurs at least 3 3 times = 96 2 5 4 + 1 2 5 4 = 97 2 5 4 = \frac{96}{25^4} + \frac{1}{25^4} = \frac{97}{25^4}

k = 97 \Rightarrow k = 97

Hey why lvl 4?
