2.

Since we have an 5-key keypad, and pin code is five digits so number of possible codes is 5^5 = 3125

Probability of guessing right on the first try is 1/3125= 0.00032

3.

We have 7 choices for the first student x 6 choices for the 2nd student x 5 choices for the 3rd student and so on.

So, the total number of possible arrangement is 7! = 5040

The probability of picking the correct order randomly would be 1 / 5040 = 0.0001984127
