From Fiza: To use telephone banking to pay bills, the customer has to enter the last three digits of each bill. the numbers 0 to 9 can be used. if the number happened to be the same on more tan one bill, the customer has to enter the first three digits as well.
(a) what is the probability that a person has 2 bills to register with the same last three digits? ANSWER:P(2 bills to register)=1/10P3 1/(10!/7!), 1/(10*9*8)=.001389
(b) what is the probability that a person with 10 bills to register has at least 2 bills with the same last three digits? ANSWER:P=1/(10*10*10) =0.001
