The word  "SEARCHING"  contains 9 different letters.


<pre>
(a)  Drawing with replacement, the probability to get "H" as the first letter is {{{1/9}}}.

                               The probability to get "A" as the second letter is {{{1/9}}}, <U>too</U>.


     Hence, the probability under the question is {{{(1/9)*(1/9)}}} = {{{1/81}}}.   <U>ANSWER</U>



(b)  Drawing without replacement, the probability to get "H" as the first letter is {{{1/9}}}.

                               The probability to get "A" as the second letter is {{{1/8}}}, <U>however</U>.


     Hence, the probability under the question is {{{(1/9)*(1/8)}}} = {{{1/72}}}.   <U>ANSWER</U>
