Question

Answer 1

The answer to this question is 3,125

Answer 2

Answer: 3125

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: A fair sortition trial is carried out, and one of the candidates is assigned the number = 32,041

If each digit can be chosen from 0-4, and if each of the possible sequences is assigned to a candidate, then the number of candidates (repetition of digits allowed)=$5\times5\times5\times5\times5$

$=3125$

Hence, the number of candidates there are = 3125.
