- A pin tumbler lock has a series of pins, each of which must be positioned at the proper height to allow the lock to open. The security of the lock is determined by the number of pins in the lock, as well as the number of different possible lengths for the pins. Inserting the proper key in the lock aligns the pins properly and allows the interior of the lock to be turned. If a pin tumbler lock has four pins, each of five different lengths, how many different keys should be tried in order to guarantee that the lock could open?arrow_forwardThe Gotham City Police Department employs 30police officers.

So that everyone typed the same thing, she asked the students to type (and send!) the alphabet to someone in a text message. She gave them 15 seconds and asked them to type out as much of the alphabet as possible in that time frame. (Each letter needed to be followed by a space before the next letter was typed.) When time was up, the students pressed send. Then they counted how many characters they typed. Here is a stemplot of the results: Note that the students who only typed 4 and 7 characters claimed to have issues with autocorrect on their phones.
