Alfred wants to become a member of an online discussion forum. The website requires him to create a password. The password must

consist of 5 characters, of which 3 must be letters and 2 must be digits. The first character of the password must be a letter. Also, repetition of the same letter in the password is not permitted but repetition of digits is permitted. How many possible ways can Alfred create the password?
So I know the answer is 9,360,000 but I got 18,720,000. This is because I thought the partition is 4! / (2! * 1! * 1!) but apparently the partition is 4! / (2! * 2!) and this confuses me. I thought that since the letters can't be repeated, we'd put one unique letter in one group, the other unique letter in the other group, and the two repeated digits in the last group. Can somebody explain this to me?

Answer:

Alfred can create the password in 9,360,000 possible ways

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the data in the questions;

Password of five characters must contain; three letters and 2 digits

[][][][][]

Now, using the five boxes above which as to be filled with three letters and two digits, such that; The first character of the password must be a letter and  repetition of the same letter in the password is not allowed while repetition of digits is allowed.

Now,

we know that there are 26 alphabets in English language, so the first box can be filled in 26 ways { must be a letter }

next four will be filed with two letters and two digits

so two boxes from the four can be chosen in the following ways;

⇒ ⁴C₂ = 4! / ( 2!(4-2)! = 24 / 4 = 6  { ways }

now for each choice, we can fill the chosen two boxes with letters in;

⇒ 25 × 24 = 600 { ways}

and the next two by digits; ( 0, 1, 2, ..... 9)

⇒ 10 × 10 = 100 { ways }

So in total, the possible number of ways he can create a password is;

⇒ 26 × 6 × 600 × 100

= 9,360,000 possible ways

Therefore, Alfred can create the password in 9,360,000 possible ways

50 POINTS PLEASE HELP!!
Vinvika [58]

Answer: <u>A. 35</u>

Step-by-step explanation: The largest prime number less than 50. The largest number less than 50 is 49, but it is not prime, because 49=7·7. The previous number is 48, but it is also composite, because 48=2·2·2·2·3. The previous number is 47, it is prime.

The smallest composite number greater than 10. The smallest number greater than 10 is 11, but it is prime. The next number is 12, it is composite, because 12=2·2·3.

The difference between the largest prime number less than 50 and the smallest composite number greater than 10 is<u> 47-12=35.</u>
