A computer system uses passwords that contain exactly 4 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 only numbers given that it contains no lower case letters.
total number of choices =N(11 choices for each charecter )=114
P(no lower case letters) =N(for each of 4 charecters there are total 8 choices (3 upper case and 5 digits)
=(84/114)
and P(only numbers ) =(54/114)
therefore P(only numbers |no lower case letters) =P(only numbers )/P(no lower case letters)
=(54/114)/(84/114) =(54/84)=625/4096

A computer system uses passwords that contain exactly 3 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 number of passwords for Ω. Report the exact number
A computer system uses passwords that contain exactly 3 characters, and each character is one of the 26 lowercase letters (a-z) or 26 uppercase letters (A-Z) or 10 integers (0-9). Let Ω denote the set of all possible passwords, and let and denote the events that consist of passwords with only letters or only integers, respectively Suppose that all passwords in 2 are equally likely. Determine the following probabilities. Round your answers to three decimal places (e.g. 98.765). (c) The...
3. A computer system uses passwords that contain exactly eight characters, and each character is one of the 26 lowercase letter (a -z) or 26 uppercase letters (A - Z) or 10 integers (0-9). Let Ω denote the set of all possible passwords. Suppose that all passwords in Ω are equally likely. Determine the probability for each of the following: (a) Password contains all lowercase letters given that it contains only letters (b) Password contains at least 1 uppercase letter...
A company‘s computer system requires passwords to be 7 to 9 characters long, and to consist of uppercase and lowercase letters {A, a, B, b, C, c, . . . , Z, z}, digits {0, 1, 2, 3, . . . , 9} and the special characters {&, #, $, *, +, _}, and to contain at least one special character or digit. How many such passwords are there?
A system requires passwords be made up of upper and lower case letters, digits, and punctuation symbols. How many bits of entropy are in a 6 character password? A 12 character password? Suppose your password is three 6-character words, made up of only lowercase letters. How much entropy is in such a password???
18. At a certain company, passwords must be from 3-5 characters long and composed of the 26 letters of the alphabet, the ten digits 0-9, and the 14 symbols !,@,#,$,%,^,&,*,().-+,{, and ). (As a note, the password does not REQUIRE at least one character of each type. In other words, it is fine if your password doesn't have any digits or is only special symbols.) a. How many passwords are possible if repetition of characters is allowed? [4 points] b....
A hacker has programmed their computer to generate, uniformly at random, an eight-character password, with each character being either one of 26 lower-case letters (a-z), one of 26 upper-case letters (A-Z) or one of 10 integers (0-9). The hacker wants to infiltrate a website that has 2 million users. Assume, for simplicity, that each user is required to use a unique password. i. What is the expected number of attempts before the hacker successfully generates a user password? ii. What...
4: A certain computer program is accessed by entering a user-defined password. If the password a. can contain any lowercase letter, uppercase letter, or digit from 0-9, and must contain 10 characters, how many possible passwords are there if no character can be used more than once? Express your answer as a factorial statement. Is 8 an example of permutations or combinations? b. 4: A certain computer program is accessed by entering a user-defined password. If the password a. can...
If passwords may contain lower case letters and digits, how many 6-character passwords start with the lower case letter 'a' or ends with the number '3'? Answer:
If the password can contain upper/lower case letters, digits, or any of eight special symbols: (Note: leave answers in exponent or simplified factorial form) How many different 8-character passwords are possible if characters cannot be repeated?
