The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem of finding the probability that the last digit of the product of four selected numbers will be 1, 3, 5, or 7, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Possible Last Digits**: The last digits of any number can be 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, or 9. We need to focus on the last digits that can yield a product ending in 1, 3, 5, or 7. 2. **Determine Valid Last Digits**: The last digits that can contribute to a product ending in 1, 3, 5, or 7 are: - 1 - 3 - 5 - 7 3. **Count the Total Last Digits**: There are a total of 10 possible last digits (0 through 9). 4. **Count the Favorable Last Digits**: Out of these 10 digits, 4 digits (1, 3, 5, 7) are favorable for our condition. 5. **Calculate the Probability of Selecting a Favorable Last Digit**: The probability of selecting a last digit that is either 1, 3, 5, or 7 is: \[ P(\text{favorable last digit}) = \frac{\text{Number of favorable outcomes}}{\text{Total outcomes}} = \frac{4}{10} = \frac{2}{5} \] 6. **Calculate the Probability for Four Selections**: Since we are selecting 4 numbers, and we want all of them to have a last digit of 1, 3, 5, or 7, we raise the probability of selecting a favorable last digit to the power of 4: \[ P(\text{all four digits are favorable}) = \left(\frac{2}{5}\right)^4 \] 7. **Calculate the Final Probability**: \[ P(\text{all four digits are favorable}) = \frac{2^4}{5^4} = \frac{16}{625} \] ### Final Answer: The probability that the last digit of the product of four selected numbers will be 1, 3, 5, or 7 is \(\frac{16}{625}\). ---
