Answer :

The probability of the event that the first digit is nine and the last letter is a is 1/260.

The building security code has 2 numeric digits in between 0-9 and 2 letters.

The choices for letters is 26 each and the choices for digits is 10 each.

So, the total possible security code can be,

Total security codes possible  = 10 × 10 × 26 × 26

Total security codes possible = 67600

Now, the number of codes that starts with 9 and end with a are,

= 1 × 10 × 26 × 1

= 260

The probability that the first digit is nine and the last letter is a is,

P(E) = 260/67600

P(E) = 1/260

So, the probability that the first digit is nine and the last letter is a is 1/260.
