You can put this solution on YOUR website!
So look at the number of possible codes.
\n" ); document.write( "Assume you can repeat letters and digits.
\n" ); document.write( "\"N=26%2A26%2A10%2A10%2A10%2A10=6760000\"
\n" ); document.write( "a) Only one of those outcomes is correct so
\n" ); document.write( "\"P=1%2F6760000\"
\n" ); document.write( "b) Again only one is correct, all others incorrect,
\n" ); document.write( "\"P=%286760000-1%29%2F6760000=6759999%2F6760000\"
\n" ); document.write( "c)So then the number of outcomes reduces to \"N=10%2A10%2A10%2A5=5000\" so the probability of guessing correctly is,
\n" ); document.write( "\"N=1%2F5000\"
\n" ); document.write( "d) Classical\r
