Question

A bag holds the letters A, T, H, and M. Ellie selects each tile at random, one tile at a time. What is the probability that she selects the letters in the order M-A-T-H?

A. 1/24 B. 1/36 C. 2/5 D. 1/4

Answer 1

So in order and without replacement

P(MATH)=(1/4)(1/3)(1/2)(1/1)

P(MATH)=1/4!

P(MATH)=1/24
