Suppose that the format for license plates in a certain state is two letters followed by four numbers. (a) How many different pl

ates can be made? (b) How many different plates are there if the letters can be repeated but no two numbers can be the same? (c) How many different plates can be made if repeti- tions of numbers and letters are allowed except that no plate can have four zeros?

Answer:

(a) 6,760,000 plates

(b) 3,407,040 plates

(c) 6,084,000 plates

Explanation:

The very first thing to note about this question is the number of characters involved in the license plate format (6 characters in this case; 2 letters and 4 numbers). The letters come first and then the numbers follow.

There are a total of 26 possible letters (A-Z) and 10 possible numbers (0 - 9) that can be chosen. We can then proceed to the first question;

(a) Here, the total number of possible plates is to be determined. This is done as follows:

Character 1 (Letter): There are 26 possible letters

Character 2 (Letter): There are 26 possible letters

Character 3 (number): There are 10 possible numbers

Character 4 (number): There are 10 possible numbers

Character 5 (number): There are 10 possible numbers

Character 6 (number): There are 10 possible numbers

So, total number of different plates will be obtained by multiplying all the possibilities: 26 × 26 × 10 × 10 × 10 × 10 = 6,760,000 plates

(b) This second part puts a constraint on the usage of the numbers, unlike the question (a), where there was no constraint at all.

Since there is no constraint on the letters, we can write that:

Character 1 (Letter): There are 26 possible letters

Character 2 (Letter): There are 26 possible letters

For the first number as well, we can write:

Character 3 (number): There are 10 possible numbers

However, for the remaining characters, the possibilities will continually reduce by a value of 1, since we can not use a number that has been used before. So,

Character 4 (number): There are 9 possible numbers

Character 5 (number): There are 8 possible numbers

Character 6 (number): There are 7 possible numbers

So, total number of different plates will be: 26 × 26 × 10 × 9 × 8 × 7 = 3,407,040 plates

(c) Here, repetitions are allowed as in questions (a), but there can not be four zeros. This implies that the maximum number of zeros in any plate will be three. Thus, there will be maximum possibilities on all characters until the last one which will be constrained.

Character 1 (Letter): There are 26 possible letters

Character 2 (Letter): There are 26 possible letters

Character 3 (number): There are 10 possible numbers

Character 4 (number): There are 10 possible numbers

Character 5 (number): There are 10 possible numbers

Character 6 (number): There are 9 possible numbers

Total number of plates will therefore be: 26 × 26 × 10 × 10 × 10 × 9 = 6,084,000 plates.

If we assume the modern view of existential import, why is the following syllogism invalid? No computer is made of clay. All com
Papessa [141]

Answer:

<u>because the conclusion is not in agreement with the two premises.</u>

Explanation:

<em>Remember</em>, the term<u> syllogism</u> refers to the form of reasoning that draws its conclusion based on the stated premises. In other words, a conclusion is reached if it satisfies <em>all or part </em>of the premises.

In this case, the statement "No computer is made of clay" and  "All computers are electronic devices" should be inferred to mean, <em><u>No </u></em><em>electronic devices are made of clay" </em>not<em> </em><em>"Some electronic devices are not made of clay," </em>since the two premises neither suggest that electronic devices are made from clay.

Basile [38]

Answer:

The answer is "Using the DoD 5220.22-M method and  Degauss media with a magnet".

Explanation:

The "DoD Standard" is a term used during the data sanitizing industry and refers to DoD 5220.22-M. The simplest ways are being used to help eliminate the previously stored data, by deleting hard disc storage facilities with the same data wherever that used a sequence of all zeros.

The sparging eliminates statistics to entirely delete the gravitational flux from electronic media. Hard drives as well as other data storage devices, for example, computer tapes, retain magnetic data. It could no longer be seen as storage after a disk is degaussed.
