Question

A cloth bag holds 4 letter tiles: A, E, S, and T. Elliot selects each tile at random, one tile at a time. What is the probability that he selects the letter tiles in the order E-A-S-T?

Answer 1

probability of selecting letter T from letter EAST is equal to 1/3

Answer 2

1/24

Explanation:

For the first letter we can pick from 4 letters than 3 and then 2 and then finally one. E-A-S-T is only on the the combination possible so the probability would be 1/24.
