Social Security Numbers A social security number consists of nine digits. How many different social security numbers are possible if repetition of digits is permitted?


Is it 9^10?? 10 numbers correct?
Answered by Count Iblis
If you intepret the string of digits as numbers, then the numbers are between 10^8 and 10^9 -1, so the answer is:

10^9 - 1 - (10^8 - 1) =

10^9 - 10^8

We can use the rule of product:
the first number we choose from 1 to 9,
the 2nd, 3rd,...,9th from 0 to 9.
So the number is
9*10*10*...*10=9*10^8 (=10^9-10^8)
