A certain model of remote control Stanley garage door opener has nine binary(off/on) switches. The homeowner can set any code sequence.

(A) How many separate codes can be programmed?
Ans: 2^9 = 512

(B) If you try to use your door opener on 1,000 other garages, how many times would you expect to succeed?
P(correct code) = 1/512

Expected success = (1/512)1000 = 1.95
