A computer system uses passwords that are exactly seven characters and each character is one of the 26 letters

(a-2) or 10 integers (0-9). You maintain a password for this computer system. Let 4 denote the subset of passwords that begin with a vowel (either

a, e, i, o, or u) and let & denote the subset of passwords that end with an even number (either 0,2, 4,6, or 8).

(a) Suppose a hacker selects a password at random. What is the probability that your password is selected?

(b) Suppose a hacker knows your password is in event 4 and selects a password at random from this subset. What is the probability that your password is selected?

(c) Suppose a hacker knows your password is in 4 and 8 and selects a password at random from this subset. What is the probability that your password is selected?
