Problem
In a state's Pick 3 lottery game, you pay $\$ 1.15$ to select a sequence of three digits (from 0 to 9 ), such as 200 . If you select the same sequence of three digits that are drawn, you win and collect $\$ 346.21$. Complete parts (a) through (e). a. How many different selections are possible?
Solution
Step 1 ：In a sequence of three digits, each digit can be any number from 0 to 9. Therefore, there are 10 possibilities for each digit.
Step 2 ：Since there are three digits, the total number of different selections is \(10 \times 10 \times 10\).
Step 3 ：Final Answer: There are \(\boxed{1000}\) different selections possible.
