Problem
An integer between and
, inclusive, is chosen at random. What is the probability that it is an odd integer whose digits are all distinct?
Solution
There are options for the last digit, as the integer must be odd. The first digit now has
options left (it can't be
or the same as the last digit). The second digit also has
options left (it can't be the same as the first or last digit). Finally, the third digit has
options (it can't be the same as the three digits that are already chosen).
Since there are total integers, our answer is
