Thanks everyone for your help on the last question. The new one is just the same but the participants are allowed to choose any numbers ( 2thru 9), even if it is the same number four times, or any combination. Will the odds change? I know that choosing 3 or 6 twice would be a good thing, right? This allows a more random selection of numbers, but how does it affect my odds?
Thanks Dave

For n total digits, each randomly selected from the set {2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9},
the probability of their product being a multiple of nine is (8^n - 5^(n-1)*(5+2*n))/8^n. Here are the probabilities for the first dozen values of n, (given as percents rounded to two decimal places): n=1: 12.50% n=2: 29.69% n=3: 46.29% n=4: 60.33% n=5: 71.39% n=6: 79.73% n=7: 85.84% n=8: 90.22% n=9: 93.31% n=10: 95.45% n=11: 96.93% n=12: 97.94% |
