Answer: 7893600

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The number of digits used for computer password = 5

Number of letter in English alphabet=26

By using permutations, the required number of passwordssuch that there is no letter repeated is given by :-

$^{26}P_5=\frac{26!}{(26-5)!}\\\\=\frac{26\times25\times24\times23\times22\times21!}{21!}\\\\=26\times25\times24\times23\times22=7893600$

Hence, there area 7893600 passwords are possible.

A fair die is cast four times. Calculate

Anestetic [448]

Answer:

0.1319 or 13.2%

Step-by-step explanation:

You can solve this using the binomial probability formula.

The fact that "obtaining at least two 6s" requires you to include cases where you would get three and four 6s as well.

Then, we can set the equation as follows:

P(X≥x) = ∑(k=x to n) C(n k) p^k q^(n-k)

n=4, x=2, k=2

when x=2 (4 2)(1/6)^2(5/6)^4-2 = 0.1157

when x=3 (4 3)(1/6)^3(5/6)^4-3 = 0.0154

when x=4 (4 4)(1/6)^4(5/6)^4-4 = 0.0008

Add them up, and you should get 0.1319 or 13.2% (rounded to the nearest tenth)

Find the difference between the result of one sixth of product of 10 and 3 multiplied by 4 and 30

kherson [118]

Answer:

10 or -10,

Read the explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Rewrite this problem as a numerical expression. As per the wording of this problem, there can be two expressions derived.

1. $((\frac{1}{6}(10*3)*4)-30$

2. $30-((\frac{1}{6}(10*3)*4)$

Simplify, remember the order of operations. The order of operations is the sequence by which one is supposed to perform operations in a numerical expression. This order is the following:

1. Parenthesis

2. Exponents

3. Multiplication or division

4. Addition or Subtraction

Use this sequence when simplifying and solving the expression:

Expression 1

$((\frac{1}{6}(10*3)*4)-30\\\\=((\frac{1}{6}(30)*4)-30\\\\=(5*4)-30\\\\=20 - 30\\\\= -10$

Expression 2

$30-((\frac{1}{6}(10*3)*4)\\\\=30-((\frac{1}{6}(30)*4)\\\\=30-(5*4)\\\\= 30-20\\\\= 10$
