Question
Example: A (pseudo) random number generator on the computer can give a sequence of independent
random digits chosen from S = {0, 1,...,9}. This means that (i) each digit has probability of of
being any of 0, 1,..., 9, and (ii) the outcomes for the different trials are independent of one another.
We call this type of setting an "experiment with independent trials". Determine the probability that
(a) in a sequence of 5 trials, all the digits generated are odd
(b) the number 9 occurs for the first time on trial 10.
