Correct Answer - Option 3 : 0.7k

Consider k = 1, means 1-digit number doesn’t contain the digits 0, 5, or 9.

Remaining digits are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7 ,8.

Total outcomes = 10

Favourable outcomes = 7

Probability = \(\frac{7}{{10}}\) = 0.7

Consider k = 2, means 2-digit number doesn’t contain the digits 0, 5, or 9

So, both the places can be filled by the remaining 7 digits.

Total outcomes = 10 × 10

Favourable outcomes = 7 × 7

Probability = \(\frac{7}{{10}}\) × \(\frac{7}{{10}}\) = \({0.7^2}\)

Similarly it goes for k = 3, probability = \({0.7^3}\)

It goes up to k….

The probability that a k-digit number does NOT contain the digits 0, 5, or 9 = \({0.7^k}\)
