Answer:

1,404,000 serial numbers can be made

Step-by-step explanation:

For the five digit serial numbers, since all letters and all numbers could be used, then we can use 26 letters (A,B,C,...Z) and 10 numbers (0,1,2,...9).

Now, say the letters and numbers are to occupy the labeled spaces below

_  _  _  _  _

1   2  3  4  5

(NOTE: Spaces 1,2,3 are to be occupied by any of the 26 letter while spaces 4 and 5 are to be occupied by any of the 10 numbers)

For space 1, there are 26 possibilities

For space 2, there will be (26 -1 ) 25 possibilities (since repetition of characters is NOT allowed)

For space 3, there will be (26-2) 24 possibilities (since repetition of characters is NOT allowed)

For space 4, we have 10 possibilities

and for space 5, we (10-1) 9 possibilities (since repetition of characters is NOT allowed)

Therefore, the number of serial numbers that can be made is

26 × 25 × 24 × 10 × 9 = 1404000

Hence, 1,404,000 serial numbers can be made

OR

Using permutation, nPr = n!/(n-r)!

For the letters,

n is the total number; n = 26

and r is the number of available spaces, r = 3

For the numbers,

n = 10

r = 2

Then, we get

26P3 × 10P2

26!/(26-3)! × 10!/(10-2)!

26!/23! × 10!/8!

15600 × 90 = 1404000

Suppose that an urn contains 3 black marbles, 7 yellow marbles, and 10 green marbles. If one marble is selected, determine the p
Yuliya22 [10]

Answer:

1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Simple probability is a ratio of the number of ways the thing we want to happen can to the total possible outcomes.

(For example, we flip a coin and want heads, but it can land on heads or tails. Our probability of getting heads is 1/2, one way to get heads over the 2 possible outcomes)

So for this problem, there's  20 possible things that CAN happen (3 + 7 + 10) and 10 ways we get what we want (a green marble).

Our probability of getting a green marble is \frac{10}{20\\}, which simplifies to \frac{1}{2}
