How many strings of 3 lower case english letters are possible that have the letter "t" in them somewhere? Here strings may use the same letter more than once?

Respuesta :

Total possible number of strings is 26^3 (3 spaces, 26 letters each).

Total that will not include a 't' is 25^3 (3 spaces, 25 letters each).

The number that will include at least one 't' is 26^3 - 25^3

26^3 = 17,576

25^3 = 15,625

17,576 - 15,625= 1,951
