Question 339819: Suppose that you are playing a game of Scrabble and the remaining letters in the bag are ADKNSTVZ. If it is your turn to play and there is a C available for use on the board and you have a BXLE, needing to draw 3 letters, what is the chance that you will draw the needed AND to create the word CANDLE? (HINT: Consider how many ways you can draw 3 letters from a bag of 8). Answer by solver91311(24713) (Show Source):
Where is the number of combinations of things taken at a time and is calculated by
Which will give you the denominator of your probability fraction, i.e. the total number of possible outcomes. Since only one of those outcomes is a success according to the parameters of your problem, the numerator of the probability fraction is 1.
