    Options for letters: 10 (0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9)

    How many different codes are possible?

    26.26.10.10.10.10.26.26.26 = 26⁵.10⁴

    How many codes are possible if repeating letters and digits is not allowed?

    26.25.10.9.8.7.24.23.22 = 3.97837.10¹⁰

    How many codes are possible if repeats are not allowed and the first letter must be 'X' and the first digit must be '4'?

    1.25.23.1.9.8.7.24.23.22 = 1.53014.10⁸

    If the wrong code is entered the vault automatically locks and the alarm sounds. Suppose repeating letters and digits are allowed in the code. What is ther probability of a thief breaking into the vault if the thief has no prior knowledge of the secret code?
