Answer:

a) 6.04661760*10^8

b) 0.27778

Step-by-step explanation:

a)

There are 26 lowercase letters and 10 digits.  

The character that must be a digit can be generated in 10 different ways and the others, in 26+10=36 different ways.

Since the password is 6 characters long, by the Fundamental Rule of Counting there are

10*36*36*36*36*36 = 604,661,760

In scientific notation this number can be expressed as

6.04661760*10^8

b)

By the <em>Fundamental Rule of Counting</em>, there would be  

36^6

different combinations of 6 characters, but only the number computed in a) are valid combinations, so the probability of generating a valid password is

\displaystyle\frac{10*36^5}{36^6}=\displaystyle\frac{10}{36}=0.27778
