A mini license plate for a toy car must consist of two numbers followed by a letter. Each number must be a 5, 7 or 9. Each letter must be a C, A or N. Repetition of digits is NOT permitted.
· Use the counting principle to determine the number of points in the sample space.
My work: 3*2*3 = 18 points in the sample space

· Construct a tree diagram to represent this situation
· List the sample space.
My work: Sample space

· Determine the exact probability of creating a mini license plate with a 5. Give solution exactly in reduced fraction form.
18 Total possibilities and 12 contain a 5. So 12/18 or 2/3 is the probability of creating a mini license plate with a 5.

Is this correct?
