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.

A friend has a CD of one of your favorite artists and has offered to let you copy it.
creativ13 [48]
No; copyright laws protect this artist's rights and I need to purchase the CD if I want it.  

This is due to copyrights being applied at the time of fixation.  In other words, as soon as the words or lyrics have been placed on paper, recorded or put in a computer the ARTIST is protected.

Information that indicates ground air or navy force levels or dispositions is what security?
AlexFokin [52]

Information that indicates ground air or navy force levels or dispositions is <u>confidential</u> security.

Security for a country's higher organizations is essential for a nation's protection.

Serious information like the nuclear organizations, army, navy, and ground air is at a higher risk for threats and hence requires higher security.

The information in such higher organizations is kept confidential and no third person is allowed access to the code of conduct of such organizations.

If information is leaked from the ground air or from navy force levels then there can be serious consequences for it. Hence, such information is always kept under confidential security.
