Outside a​ home, there is aa 55​-key keypad numbered 11 through 55. The correct fivefive​-digit code will open the garage door. The numbers can be repeated in the code. ​(a) How many codes are​ possible? ​(b) What is the probability of entering the correct code on the first​ try, assuming that the owner​ doesn't remember the​ code?

55 - 11 + 1=45 numbers available on the keypad

 

45^5 =184,528,125 number of codes possible if repeats are allowed.

1 / 184,528,125=your chance of entering a code correctly by pure chance.
