Question

Lonnie has four cards that spell out the word GIRL. He picks four cards, one at a time, without replacing them. What is the probability that he spells the word GIRL in the correct order?

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer to this problem is 1/24

Answer 2

The probability that he spells the word GIRL in the correct order is 1/24.

What is probability?

Probability is the measurement of possibilities in numbers.

Number of letters in word GIRL =4

So, the probability of spelling out G the first time = 1/4

Total words left now =3

So, the probability of spelling out I second time = 1/3

Total words left now =2

So, the probability of spelling out R the third time = 1/2

Total words left now =1

Probability of spelling out L the fourth time = 1/1

So, total probability = (1/4)*(1/3)*(1/2)*(1/1)=1/24

Hence, the probability that he spells the word GIRL in the correct order is 1/24.
