- The number of 5-element subsets from a set containing n elements is equal to the number of 6-element subsets from the same set. What is the value of n? (Hint: the order in which the elements for the subsets are chosen is not important.)arrow_forwardMotorcycle license plates in the state of California start with two digits(0–9), followed by one uppercase letter (A–Z), followed by four digits (0–9). Determine the number of motorcycle license plates possible if the first two digits must be odd, the last four digits cannot be 0, and repetition is not permitted.arrow_forwardAssume a country has 3-digit area codes that all have 0 or 1 as the middle digit, do not have 0 or 1 as the first digit, and do not have 2 as the third digit. How many area codes are possible?arrow_forward
- he security department has decided that passwords must now be 8 characters. They are considering two scenarios. Calculate how many unique passwords can be generated with each scenario. Scenario 1: The allowable characters include 26 upper case letters, 26 lower case letters, 10 digits, and four special characters (!,@,#,&). Repetition is permitted. How many unique passwords can be generated? Scenario 2. No repetition is permitted. For the first five characters in the password, the allowable characters include 26 upper case letters, 10 digits, and the four special characters. However, the last three characters must be lower case letters. How many unique passwords can be generated?arrow_forwardA security code of four digits from digits 0 to 9 must be entered in a definite order. How many four-digit codes are possible if repetition of digits is allowed?(HINT: digits must be entered in a definite order)arrow_forwardCount the number of lattice paths from (2, 3) to (10, 12) which avoid both (3, 5) and (5, 8).arrow_forward
- In a certain country, the car number plate is formed by 4 digits from the digits 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9 followed by 3 letters from the alphabet. How many number plates can be formed if neither the digits nor the letters are repeated?arrow_forwardSuppose each license plate in a certain state has three digits followed by three letters. The digits 4 and 5 are not used. So, there are 26 letters and 8 digits that are used. Assume that the letters and digits can be repeated. How many license plates can be generated using this format?arrow_forwardSuppose each license plate in a certain state has three digits followed by three letters. The digts 4 and 5 are not used. So, there are 26 letters and 8 digits that are used. Assume that the letters and digits can be repeated. How many license plates can be generated using this format?arrow_forward
- a collage has new password conditions. There must be 6 characters, which can be either numbers or lower-case letters. None of the characters can repeat. How many possible passwords are there?arrow_forwardAssume that X={A,F,H,D,C} and Y={5,9,4,2,3}. A code consists of 4 different symbols selected from X followed by 2 not necessarily different symbols from Y. How many different codes are possible?arrow_forwardSuppose you are going to make a password that consists of 5 characters chosen from {2,3,6,7,a,c,k,n,p}. How many different passwords can you make if you cannot use any character more than once in each password?arrow_forward
