You have a computer password that consists of 3 digits and 2 lowercase letters. How many passwords are there if no digit or letter can be repeated?
= 10*9*8*26*25 = 468,000
------------------------------
What is the probability that you will enter the correct password?
If your entry is limited to the format, it's 1 in 468000.
If it's not, there's not sufficient data to answer.
