Question 776987: a box contains 8 letters, shown as CRASHING. What is the probability of the outcome CIGAR in that order if 5 letters are drawn one by one (a) with replacement? (b) without replacement? Answer by stanbon(75887) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! a box contains 8 letters, shown as CRASHING. What is the probability of the outcome CIGAR in that order if 5 letters are drawn one by one
(a) with replacement?
P(CIGAR with replacements) = (1/8)^5 = 0.0000305...
-----
(b) without replacement?
# of ways to pick that sequence of 5 letters: 1
# of possible outcomes:: 8P5 = 8*7*6*5*4 = 6720
P(select CIGAR) = 1/6720 = 0.0001488
