Say, a number x occurs with probability p.
x's binary representation be ABCD.
So, does each of A,B,C or D is set with probability p?

Binary is either 0 or 1, so 4 bits gives $2^4=16$ possible combinations. So probability is $1/16$. But i dont think that answers your question.
Unless I've misunderstand your question:
Your number may as well just be an event E, which you say has probability $q$. Regardless of how you represent that event, in base 2 or 10 or whatever, it is still the same event so will still have probability $q$.
No. Let the range be $[0,15]$, which can be represented in four bits. If we select $x$ randomly from the range, we have $x=7$ (or any other value) $ \frac 1{16}$ of the time. Each bit is set $\frac 12$ of the time among the $16$ numbers.
