Acomputer is used to generate passwords. passwords are made up of numbers from 1–8 and lowercase letters. the computer generates passwords one character at a time. what is the probability the first character is an even number? enter your answer, as a decimal rounded to the nearest hundredth, in the box.

The answer is 0.1176470588235294, or rounded to the nearest hundredth 0.11, or 11%. There are 26 letters in the alphabet, so 76% that the first character is a lowercase letter. There are 8 possibilities of a number, being 1-8. 2,4,6,and 8 are favored here as the even numbers. This means that there are 4 out of 34 possibilities of the first character being an even number. 4/34 = 0.1176470588235294 or 11%. (This answer is almost a year late so you probably won't even see this)

Edit: Actually, I forgot to round so it would be 12% or 0.12.

step-by-step explanation:

from this example, we can see that subtracting with integers is the same as adding the opposite. we can solve using a number line or by using the saying "keep, change, change" to us solve. it is important to remember that we can subtract a negative and end up with a larger number than we started with.
