A computer system uses passwords that contain exactly eight characters, and each character is one of 26 lowercase letters (a–z) or 26 uppercase letters (A–Z) or 10 integers (0–9) or 38 symbols. Let Ω denote the set of all possible passwords, and let A and B denote the events that consist of passwords with only letters or only integers, respectively. Suppose that all passwords in Ω are equally likely. Determine the probability of a password containing at least 1 symbol, 1 letter, and 3 integers.

A deck consists of 32 cards with 2 suits labelled A and B, and numbered ranks from 1 to 16. That is, there are 16 cards of each suit and 2 cards of each rank. A single card is chosen at random from the deck. What is the probability of it being rank 7 given that it is suit b? And What is the probability of it being suit b given that it has rank 7?
Suppose a family uses a lock-in their home that opens by using a lock code that is a product of two numbers, one from a set, P = {2, 3, 4, 5, 9} and another from set Q = {1, 2, 6, 7}. Now consider all the possible combinations of numbers from the given two sets and find the probability that lock will open up by entering a number multiple of 6.
A) A computer system uses passwords that contain exactly 7 characters, and each character is 1 of the 3 lowercase letters (a, b, c) or 3 upper case letters (A, B, C) or the 5 odd digits (1, 3, 5, 7, 9). Let Ω denote the set of all possible passwords, and let A and B denote the events that consist of passwords with only letters or only integers, respectively. Determine the probability that a password contains all lowercase letters given that it contains only letters. Report the answer to 3 decimal places.
