1/17,576,000

Explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:
`(1)/(17576000)`

Explanation:

Given: A state’s license plates consist of 3 letters followed by 3 numbers.

Since, there are 26 letters in English alphabet and 10 digits in set of numbers(0,1,....,9).

Then , the total number of license plates can be generated (if repetition is allowed)=

`26*26*26*10*10*10=17576000`

In AHW304, each alphabet and number occurs only once, the number of license plate with this = 1

Now, the probability of randomly generating a license plate that reads AHW 304=
`(1)/(17576000)`
