the reason you are not getting an answer is because it doesn't say how many numbers are chosen, so there is not enough information
8 out of how many?

anonymous · Answer

that's the way the question was written.. so I really don't know.

anonymous · Answer

maybe it means 8 numbers are chosen, from 1 to 9, and you have to pick the right one

anonymous · Answer

in which case by the counting principle there are $10^8$ possible such 8 numbers

anonymous · Answer

each number has 10 possibilities, and there are 8 numbers. a simpler way to think about it is that there are 100,000,000 numbers between 00000000 and 99999999
