In a straight 3 lottery you choose a 3 digit number. A 3 digit number is chosen at random, If your number mataches you win $250.

2. what is the proabiliy that your number is the winner

3. There are two outcomes in the sample space {$250,$0} using these write down a probaility model for the straight pick 3 lottery

000 to 999
0 through 9 0 through 9 0 through 9
10^3 = 1000

so
1/1000
