Answer:

see below

Explanation:

When the letters are replaced and mixed between draws, the draws are independent. In that case, the probability of a sequence is the product of the probabilities of the individual letters in the sequence.

The individual probabilities are ...

D - 1/4

E - 2/4

R - 1/4

__

So, the probability for a sequence like DD is ...

p(D)·p(D) = (1/4)(1/4) = 1/16

Of course, to convert to a percentage, multiply by 100%:

1/16 × 100% = 6.25%

The attachment shows the rest of them.
