License plates consist of 3 letters, followed by 4 numbers (0 to 9), with repetition allowed.
a) how many license plates do not contain the sequence DOG?
DOG can only occupy one position in the leter group as there are only three letters allowed
4 numbers would be 10 000 possibilities (0000 - 9999)
soooo 26 x 26 x 26 x 10 000 - 10000
