Question 1142237: How many distinguishable way can these letters "unoppolati" be arranged? Is there one arrangement that spells a term that we used throughout this course? what is the probability of getting that arrangement?
2) A charity organization is selling $5 raffle tickets as part of a fund raiser program. The first prize is a trip to Mexico valued at $3450 and second prize a weekend spa package valued at $750. THE remaining 20 prizes are $25 gas cards. The number of tickets sold is 6000. what is the expected value of your gain?

The number of distinguishable arrangements is  10%21%2F%282%21%2A2%21%29 = 907200.


Here 10 is the number of letters in the given word;  2! is to account for 2 identical letters "o"


and the other 2! is to account for 2 identical letters "p".



    The "magic" word is "population", I think.



The probability to get this arrangement among all other distinguishable arrangements is  1%2F907200.


The probability to have the relevant permutation among all possible permutations is the same value  1%2F907200.


Regarding the other problem, there is a rule in this forum, that each post can carry ONE and ONLY ONE PROBLEM.
