How many arrangements can be made out of the letters of the word 'constitution'?

you need to use something called factorial. this is represent by an exclamation point and means that you multiply its successive numbers. lets say you have 4! this means 4 * 3 * 2 * 1 = 24 lets say you have 11! this means 11 * 10 * 9 * 8 * 7 * 6 * 5 * 4 * 3 * 2 * 1 =39,916,800 so now lets take your word "constitution" and how many letters do you have. you have 12 letters. so to figure out how much arrangements you can do you need to do 12! this number is 479,001,600. this is combinatorics. it is used in making combinations and figuring them out. also it can be used in probability and password hacking and protection.


In how many different ways can the letters of the word ARISE be arranged?

One letter is randomly selected from the word math and a second letter is randomly selected from the word jokes what is the probability that both letters are vowels?

Word 1) 'math' has one vowel letter among a total of 4 letters. The probability of randomly selecting the vowel letter 'a' is P(v) = 1/4. Word 2) 'jokes' has two vowel letters among a total of 5 letters. The probability of randomly selecting a vowel letter is P(v) = 2/5. The probability of randomly selecting a vowel letter from the first word and a vowel letter from the second word is: P(v1,v2) = 1/4 (2/5) = 2/20 = 1/10 = 0.10 = 10.0%
