axel writes each letter of his name on a tile and places the 4 tiles in a bag. if he draws each tile out of the bag at random, what is the probability that he will draw the letters a - x - e - l, in that order?

axel writes each letter of his name on a tile and places the 4 tiles in a bag. if he draws each tile out of the bag at random, what is the probability that he will draw the letters a - x - e - l, in that order?

Answer

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate total possible permutations

There are 4 distinct tiles, so total permutations = (4!) (4! = 4 \times 3 \times 2 \times 1 = 24)

Step2: Determine favorable outcomes

Only 1 specific order (A-X-E-L) is favorable.

Answer:

(\frac{1}{24})
