Using the permutation formula, as the order is important, it is found that 2520 distinct passwords can be made.

The order is important as abcde is a different password than edcba, hence the <em>permutation formula</em> is used.

<h3>What is the permutation formula?</h3>

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

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

In this problem, 5 letters are chosen from a set of 7, hence:

P_{7,5} = \frac{7!}{(7-5)!} = 2520

2520 distinct passwords can be made.

We roll a fair die repeatedly until we see the number four appear and then we stop. The outcome of the experiment is the number
muminat

Answer:

0

Step-by-step explanation:

given that we roll a fair die repeatedly until we see the number four appear and then we stop.

the number 4 can appear either in I throw, or II throw or .... indefinitely

So X = the no of throws can be from 1 to infinity

This is a discrete distribution countable.

Sample space= {1,2,.....}

b) Prob ( 4 never appears) = Prob (any other number appears in all throws)

= \frac{5}{6} *\frac{5}{6} *\frac{5}{6} *\frac{5}{6} *...\\=(\frac{5}{6} )^n

where n is the number of throws

As n tends to infinity, this becomes 0 because 5/6 is less than 1.

Hence this probability is approximately 0

Or definitely 4 will appear atleast once.
