Respuesta :
The answer is 4/11. This is because if you are asked to pick 4 letter from the bag and the bag only contains 11 different alphabet tiles then the answer would be 4/11.
The probability of getting a particular four letter sequence is [tex]\frac{1}{7920}[/tex].
What is permutation?
A permutation is a mathematical technique that determines the number of possible arrangements in a set when the order of the arrangements matters.
Formula for permutation
[tex]P(n, k) =\frac{n!}{(n-k)!}[/tex]
Where:
n – the total number of elements in a set
k – the number of selected elements arranged in a specific order
! – factorial
What is probability?
Probability is the measure of the likelihood of an event to occur.
Formula for probability
P(E) = number of favorable outcomes/ total number of outcomes
According to given question
We have
Total number of tiles = 11
And we have to form distinct four letter sequences by picking 4 letter tiles a bag containing 11 different alphabet.
⇒ n = 11 and k = 4
So, the total number of distinct four letter sequences formed by picking 4 tiles from a bag = [tex]11P_{4}[/tex]
⇒ total number of distinct four letters = [tex]\frac{11!}{(11-4)!} = 7920[/tex]
Since, we have to get only one particular sequence.
⇒ Total number of favorable outcomes = 1
And there are total number of four teller sequence = 7920
⇒ Total number of outcomes = 7920
Therefore, the probability of getting a particular four letter sequence = [tex]\frac{1}{7920}[/tex]
