What is the probability that the number selected does not contain zero at any position ?

For the next five (05) items that follow : A 4-digit number is selected at random formed by using the digits 0, 1, 2, 3 and 4 (where repetition of digits is not allowed).

  1. A. 0.12
  2. B. 0.25
  3. C. 0.375
  4. D. 0.45

Correct Answer: B. 0.25

Explanation

If the number does not contain 0, it must be formed entirely of the digits {1, 2, 3, 4}. The number of such 4-digit combinations is 4! = 24. The probability is 24/96 = 1/4 = 0.25.
