To solve the problem of finding the probability of a person getting the right sequence to open the suitcase lock, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Problem The suitcase lock has 4 wheels, each labeled with digits from 0 to 9. The lock opens with a unique sequence of 4 digits with no repeats. ### Step 2: Determine the Favorable Outcomes (NA) The favorable outcome (NA) is the one specific sequence that will open the lock. Since there is only one correct sequence, we have: \[ NA = 1 \] ...
