A computer system uses passwords that are six characters, and each character is one of the 26 letters (a–z) or 10 integers (0–9)

. Uppercase letters are not used. Let A denote the event that a password begins with a vowel (either a, e, i, o, or u), and let B denote the event that a password ends with an even number (either 0, 2, 4, 6, or 8). Suppose a hacker selects a password at random. Determine the following probabilities: a. P(A) b. P(B) c. P(A ∩ B) d. P(A ∪ B)

First of all, since we have 36 characters available per spot (26 letters and 10 digits), and we have 6 spots, we have a total of

36^6

possible passwords.

Event A happens if the password starts with either a, e, i, o or u. If we fix the first character, we're left with 36 characters available for each of the remaining 5 spots, leading to a total of

5\cdot 36^5

possible passwords.

So, the probability of event A, computed as the ratio between "good" cases and all possible cases, is

\dfrac{5\cdot 36^5}{36^6}=\dfrac{5}{36}

Event B works exactly the same, since we're fixing the last spot, leaving 36 characters available for each of the first 5 spots. So, we have

P(A)=P(B)=\dfrac{5}{36}

As for the intersection, we want the first character to be a vowel, and the last character to be an even digits. There are 25 passwords satisfying this request:

axxxx0,\ axxxx2,\ axxxx4,\ axxxx6,\ axxxx8

exxxx0,\ exxxx2,\ exxxx4,\ exxxx6,\ exxxx8

ixxxx0,\ ixxxx2,\ ixxxx4,\ ixxxx6,\ ixxxx8

oaxxxx0,\ oxxxx2,\ oxxxx4,\ oxxxx6,\ oxxxx8

uxxxx0,\ uxxxx2,\ uxxxx4,\ uxxxx6,\ uxxxx8

Where x can be any of the 36 characters.

So, we have 25 cases with 4 vacant slots, leading to a probability of

P(A\cap B)=\dfrac{25\cdot 36^4}{36^6}=\dfrac{25}{1296}

Finally, you can compute the probability of the union using the formula

P(A\cup B)=P(A)+P(B)-P(A\cap B)

Since we already computed all these quantities.

A group walked 3/8 mile in 1/5 hour. Which is the groups walking speed in miles per hour
gogolik [260]

Answer:

The groups walking speed is 1\frac{7}{8}\frac{miles}{hour}  or 1.875\frac{miles}{hour}

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

To find the speed divide the distance by the time

so

\frac{(3/8)}{(1/5)}=\frac{15}{8}\frac{miles}{hour}

Convert to mixed number

\frac{15}{8}=\frac{8}{8}+\frac{7}{8}=1\frac{7}{8}\frac{miles}{hour}
