For the following two questions, you can leave the answers in multiplicative and fraction forms. (a) Find the total number of possible passwords. (b) Find the probability that the password contains at least one repetition in the letters or numbers. Note that the same letter in lowercase and in capital letter is considered as a repetition, for example, abA1234 is considered having a repetition in letter “a”.arrow_forwarda code is made by selecting 7 different letters, one after another, from the 26 letters in the english alphabet. wheat probability weight should be assigned to each code? a. 1/P(26,7) b. 1/C(26,7) c. 1/26^7 d. 1/7^26 e. none of these are correct f. 1/182arrow_forward
