Solve the problem.
-Suppose that we wish to distribute the four-digit random numbers from 0000 through 9999 so that the corresponding random numbers can be used to simulate the polluting spills in the Great Lakes. If the numbers 0000 to 2465 correspond to 0 spills, what is the estimated probability of 0 spills?
A) $\frac { 2466 } { 1000 }$

B) $\frac { 2465 } { 10,000 }$

C) $\frac { 2465 } { 1000 }$

D) $\frac { 2466 } { 10,000 }$

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The total number of four-digit numbers from 0000 to 9999 is 10,000. The numbers from 0000 to 2465 that correspond to 0 spills are 2466 in total (including 0000). Therefore, the probability of 0 spills is the number of outcomes for 0 spills (2466) divided by the total number of outcomes (10,000), which is $\frac { 2466 } { 10,000 }$.
