a. Determine the number of different license plates that can be created using the
following format. Assume that a license plate consists of seven alphanumeric characters
using numbers (09) and capital letters (AZ). Find how many unique license plates can
be printed using any of the 36 alphanumeric characters without duplication in each of
the seven alphanumeric characters, i.e., no alphanumeric character appears more than
once in any license plate. (This question is NOT related to your states license plates in
the initial 3 parts above).
Is this a permutation or
combination? Why?

Part B: Probabilities and Odds
4. For this set of exercises, you will need a single standard six-sided die. If you do not have one,
you can use a virtual die: https://www.random.org/dice/ (40 points total for Question 4)
