Answer:

Part 1)

10,000 different numbers.

Part 2)

A) 1 in 10,000.

Step-by-step explanation:

Part 1)

Since there are four digits and there are ten choices for each digit (0 - 9) and digits can be repeated, then we will have:

[tex]T=\underbrace{10}_{\text{Choices For First Digit}}\times\underbrace{10}_{\text{Second Digit}}\times\underbrace{10}_{\text{Third Digit}}\times \underbrace{10}_{\text{Fourth Digit}} = 10^4=10000[/tex]

Thus, 10,000 different numbers are possible.

Part 2)

Since there 10,000 different tickets possible, the chance of one being the correct combination will be 1 in 10,000.

This is equivalent to 0.0001 or a 0.01% chance of winning.
