In a housing cluster, every house has a number consisting of two digits. The digits used are whole numbers less than 10. Then the number of possible house numbers where all digits are odd is ....
We will use the multiplication rule (filling slots) to form the two-digit house numbers.
Identifying Available Digits
Whole numbers less than 10 are {0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9}. The condition is that all digits must be odd. Therefore, the allowed digits are:
There are 5 odd digits available. Since the house number consists of two digits, we have two positions to fill:
Calculating Total Possibilities
The total number of possibilities is the product of the choices for each position:
So, there are 25 possible house numbers.
