Urgently plsss A randomly generated password contains four characters. Each of the four characters is either a lowercase letter

or a digit from 0–9. Each character in the password cannot be used more than once.
What is the approximate probability that exactly one of the four characters will be a number?

Answer:

44%

Step-by-step explanation:

A probability is the number of desired outcomes divided by the number of total outcomes.

The order in which the values are is important(0123 is a different password of 3210), which means that the permutations formula is used to solve this question.

Permutations formula:

The number of possible permutations of x elements from a set of n elements is given by the following formula:

P_{(n,x)} = \frac{n!}{(n-x)!}

Desired outcomes:

One number, from a set of 10

Three characters, from a set of 26.

They can be in 4 possible orders(CNNN, NCNN, NNCN, NNNC). So

D = 4P_{10,1}P_{26,3} = 4*\frac{10!}{(10-9)!}*\frac{26!}{(26-3)!} = 624000

Total outcomes:

Four characters, from a set of 26 + 10 = 36. So

T = P_{36,4} = \frac{36!}{(36-4)!} = 1413720

What is the approximate probability that exactly one of the four characters will be a number?

P = \frac{D}{T} = \frac{624000}{1413720} = 0.4414

So 44%.

Write the equation of a line in slope intercept form of a line that has a slope of 1/2 and contains (-4,1)
Delicious77 [7]
The general form of the line is:
y = mx + c where:
m is the slope 
c is the y-intercept

Now, we are given that the slope = 1/2.
The equation now became:
y = (1/2) x + c

Now, we need to get the y-intercept. We are given that (-4 ,1) belongs to the line. Therefore, this point satisfies the equation of the line. Based on this, we will substitute with this point in the equation above and solve for c as follows:
y = (1/2) x + c
1 = (1/2)(-4) + c
1 = -2 + c
c = 1+2
c = 3

Based on the above, the equation of the line is:
y = (1/2) x + 3
