Question

A computer program randomly picks from the whole numbers 0–9 and lowercase letters, one at a time, to create a password.

Answer 1

Answer:

The probability is 0.72

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 26 lower case letters and 10 numerals.

Given is that the computer program randomly picks from the whole numbers 0–9 and lowercase letters, one at a time, to create a password.

Means the computer picks from a total of 36 characters.

We have to find the probability that the first character the program uses is a lowercase letter. The probability becomes:

$\frac{26}{36} =0.72$

Answer 2

Your answer is going to be 0.72 :)
