Hi, I'll assume you mean that the letters given are T,I,G,E,R. Probability is defined as favorable outcomes divided by total outcomes. There is only one correct arrangement of the letters in the order TIGER. There are 5*4*3*2*1=120 total arrangements (total number of permutations of a 5 list). So the probability is 1/120.
