How many different passwords are possible if each character may be any lowercase letter or digit, and at least one character must be a digit?
A computer is generating passwords. The computer generates eight characters at random, and each is equally to be any of the 26 letters or 10 digits.
Replications are allowed. is die probability that the password will contain all letters?
A computer system requires that passwords contain at least one digit. If eight characters are generated at random what is the probability that dry will form a valid password?
