Question 417903: A computer assigns three-character log-in IDs that may contain the digits 0 to 9 as well as the letters a to z with repeats allowed.

total no. of symbol that may be use = 26 + 10 = 36

no. of ways to form 3 character login id = 36*36*36
no. of ways to form login id without using x = 35*35*35

probability = 35^3 / 36^3
= (35/36)^3
