A motorcycle license plate has 2 letters amd 3 numbers. What is the probability that a motorcycle has a license plate containing a double letter and an even number?

Respuesta :

The probability that a motorcycle has a license plate containing a double letter and an even number [tex]\boxed{\frac{1}{{52}}}.[/tex]

Further explanation:

The probability can be obtained as the ratio of favorable number of outcomes to the total number of outcomes.

[tex]\boxed{{\text{Probability}} = \frac{{{\text{Favorable number of outcome}}}}{{{\text{Total number of outcomes}}}}}[/tex]

Given:

A motorcycle license plate has 2 letters and 3 numbers.

Explanation:

There are 26 letters.

The double letters are as follows,

[tex]S = \left( {aa,bb,cc, \ldotszz} \right)[/tex]

The total numbers of double letters are [tex]\boxed{26}[/tex]

The total number of even numbers can be obtained as follows,

[tex]\begin{aligned}{\text{Total numbers}} &= 10 \times 10 \times 5\\&= 500\\\end{aligned}[/tex]

The favorable number of outcomes can be obtained as follows,

[tex]\begin{aligned}{\text{Favourable number of outcomes}} &= 26 \times 500 \\ &= 13000\\\end{aliged}[/tex]

The total numbers of outcomes can be obtained as follows,

[tex]\begin{aligned}{\text{Total number of outcomes}}&= 26 \times 26 \times 10 \times 10 \times 10 \\&= 676000\\\end{aligned}[/tex]

The probability that a motorcycle has a license plate containing a double letter and an even number [tex]\boxed{\frac{1}{{52}}}.[/tex]
