    Step-by-step explanation:

    Problem One

    If you are allowing duplicates, there are always a choice of five letters for the password. If you want to use 3 of them, then the answer is 5 * 5 * 5 = 125 possible passwords.

    Problem Two

    From 7 you must choose 2. You must cut out the duplicates AB is the same as BA

    nCr

    n = 7

    r = 2

    nCr = n! / (n - r) ! r!

    n! / (n - r) ! r! = 7! / (7 - 2) ! 2!

    n! / (n - r) ! r! = 7! / 5! 2!

    7! / (5! 2!) = 7*6 * 5! / (5!) 2!

    7*6 / 2 = 21

    There are 21 ways of choosing 2 plays from 7.
