A website requires users to create a password that is 6 characters long. Each character can contain numbers, or symbols chosen from ? and #. The password does not have to include both numbers and symbols. a) How many 6-character passwords are possible if numbers and symbols can be used more than once? b) How many 6-character passwords are possible if no numbers or symbols can be repeated? c) What is the probability that a randomly generated 6-character password contains 6 different characters? a) Set up the expression that can be used to calculate the number of possible 6-character passwords if numbers and symbols can be used more than once. The expression is . (Do not simplify.) The number of different passwords that are possible if numbers and symbols can be used more than once is . (Simplify your answer.) b) The number of different passwords that are possible if no numbers or symbols can be repeated is . (Simplify your answer.) c) The probability that a 6-character password contains 6 different characters is . (Type an integer or decimal rounded to three decimal places as needed.)
