<PRE><B>Question 84937</B>
Prob of matching 1st digit; 1/10
Prob of matching 2nd digit: 1/10
Prob of matching letter: 1/26
Prob of matching two digits: 1/10 * 1/10 = 1/100
Prob of matching two digits and the letter: 1/100 * 1/26 = 1/2600
===========
Each event is independent so you multiply the probabilities of each
of the pieces to get the probility of the whole pattern.
