There are 17,576,000 possible license plates (26*26*26*10*10*10). Therefore, the probability of getting any one specific license plate such as AHW 304 is 1 out of 17,576,000 (C)

The total number of possible plates ( with repetitions ) is:
+26%5E3%2A10%5E3+
+17576%2A1000+
17,576,000 total possible plates
1/17,576,000 is the probability of having one unique plate
such as AHW304
