What is the probability of guessing 3 numbers on a dollar bill serial number?

Assuming that you cannot repeat any of the numbers that you are using to guess (e.g., would not guess 1, 4 and 4) AND that a match only counts once (e.g., in the serial number A23345678D, the matching 3 only counts as a single match despite appearing more than one time), the probability is between 15.4% and 15.5% (via 5MM simulations).
If we loosen the rules and say that there can be double matches with the numbers that you are guessing (e.g., in the serial number above, if 3 was a guess number, there would be two matches, not just one), the probability is between 25.4% and 25.5% (via 5MM simulations)
The spirit of the question suggests that we would never repeat a guessed number.

What is the probability of getting a number greater then 5 on a spinner?
The probability is(the total number of numbers on the spinner minus 5)/(the total number of numbers on the spinner)Another way to express the same probability is1 - 5/(the total number of numbers on the spinner)
There are 4 numbers the probability of spinning the number 3 is what?
The probability of spinning the number 3, or any number, is 1/4 or 0.25 since there is 4 numbers total.
If two numbers are complementary what is their probability?
On the basis that numbers are a continuous variable, the probability of any particular number (or pair) is 0.
What is the probability of spinning the spinner and landing on an odd number?
The probability of spinning the spinner and landing on an odd number depends on the number of odd numbers on the spinner and the total number of numbers on the spinner. If there are 3 odd numbers on the spinner and a total of 6 numbers, then the probability of landing on an odd number is 3/6, which simplifies to 1/2 or 50%.
If a coin is tossed then what is the probability that the number is 5?
Coins do not have numbers, there is only the probability of heads or tails.
What is the probability of guessing the last digit of a phone number?
It is 1/10.
What is the probability of getting a number greater then 5 on a spinner?
The probability is(the total number of numbers on the spinner minus 5)/(the total number of numbers on the spinner)Another way to express the same probability is1 - 5/(the total number of numbers on the spinner)
What is the probability of picking a number from a population of b numbers?
The probability is 1/b.
What is the probability that the difference of the numbers is 6 in two number cubes?
The probability is 0.
There are 4 numbers the probability of spinning the number 3 is what?
The probability of spinning the number 3, or any number, is 1/4 or 0.25 since there is 4 numbers total.
What is the probability of guessing a two digit number less than thirty?
1/20 = 5%
If two numbers are complementary what is their probability?
On the basis that numbers are a continuous variable, the probability of any particular number (or pair) is 0.
What is the probability to choose a prime number from numbers 1 to 50?
The probability is 3 out of 10.
What is the probability to choose prime numbers from 1 to 9?
The prime numbers from one to nine are 2, 3, 5, and 7. There are nine numbers from one to nine. The probability is 4 (the number of prime numbers) over 9 (the total number of numbers). Therefore, the probability of choosing a prime number is 4/9 or about 44 percent.
What is the probability of spinning the spinner and landing on an odd number?
The probability of spinning the spinner and landing on an odd number depends on the number of odd numbers on the spinner and the total number of numbers on the spinner. If there are 3 odd numbers on the spinner and a total of 6 numbers, then the probability of landing on an odd number is 3/6, which simplifies to 1/2 or 50%.
What is the probability of picking a prime number from numbers between 1 and 20?
The probability is 8/20.
If a coin is tossed then what is the probability that the number is 5?
Coins do not have numbers, there is only the probability of heads or tails.
