Answer

$\frac{1}{10}$

Work Step by Step

The probability is $\frac{1}{10}$ because we can choose the first digit to be anything, the second digit is irrelevant and the third digit must match the first one for it to be the same from back as from the front and only $1$ of the $10$ digits is good (which come up with equal probabilities)
