1. Just list the elements of the sample space:{RR, RL, LR, LL}. The probability is 0.25.
2. Letters in common:
U (ULTIMATE and MULTIPLE both have one)
L (ULTIMATE has 1, MULTIPLE has 2)
I (ULTIMATE and MULTIPLE both have one)
M (ULTIMATE and MULTIPLE both have one)
T (ULTIMATE has 2, MULTIPLE has one)
E (ULTIMATE and MULTIPLE both have one)
P(U from ULTIMATE and MULTIPLE) =
P(L from ULTIMATE and MULTIPLE) = , etc...
Since the events are mutually exclusive, then the probability that they are the same letters is .
