Four trumpet players’ instruments are mixed up, and the trumpets are given to the players just before a concert. What is the probability that no one gets his or her trumpet back?

75%?

OpenStudy (pokemon23):

1/4?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No. The probability that they get theirs is 1/4th = 25%. The probability that they won't get their's is 75%. The probability that none of them get theirs is 0.75*0.75*0.75*0.75.

You were right for one of them not getting their instrument. Not all of them not getting their instrument.
