Question 766583: Suppose a “combination” lock has the numbers 0 to 39 on it. In order to open the lock, a person must dial the correct three number sequence like 12 left, 24 right, 6 left.
1. How many different three-number sequences are possible assuming that numbers can be repeated?
2. How many different three-number sequences are possible if numbers may not be repeated? Answer by Alan3354(69443) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Suppose a “combination” lock has the numbers 0 to 39 on it. In order to open the lock, a person must dial the correct three number sequence like 12 left, 24 right, 6 left.
1. How many different three-number sequences are possible assuming that numbers can be repeated?
40*40*40 = 64000
==================
2. How many different three-number sequences are possible if numbers may not be repeated?
40*39*38
