    This 54 year old student who is in her last week of college math thanks you for not having to skip this question like I thought I would!!! :-)

      Engineer Clearly Now I am using this formula on other things. You have helped someone who is terrified of math start 'liking' it a little! Thanks again, Engineer Clearly!

      Same here except I'm 45 !! Thanks because I searched all over & was just about to skip it too.

    In your first example, it doesn’t matter what random combination you choose. There’s a 1,757,000:1 chance that any of them will appear, regardless of what the number actually is.
    You seemed to imply that ABC-123 is a rarer combination than GGG-693. Just wanted to make sure that’s not what you were trying to say, because that would be incorrect.

    I need probability of seeing a license that has DAN everywhere I go. My best friend Dan passed away 7 years ago and everywhere I go the cars in front of me say Dan. My parents cars also say dan. I really try to tell myself this is normal, but I really think it's a sign he knew I always looked for signs so he would k ow I'd notice that, but I find it hard to believe anything could force such occurrences so often

      Please help me know the odds of this happening so often. If it helps I am driving in Desoto county Mississippi mostly. Not sure if Desoto makes them have more that start with D but every car in front of me says DAN everytime I drive dor years

      @@roseo9177 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vehicle_registration_plates_of_Mississippi#County_coding DeSoto county is fixed to start with DA and in previous years was DA-DH or DA-DZ. So 1/26 chance of a DAN if the plate was from 2019 onwards and lower before that but still not *rare*, you'd see it every once in a while

      You might be targeted. They do a lot of stuff like that just to confuse and disrupt people. Hope not because it’s not fun
