There are 5 letters, so there are 5! permutations
Keep in mind something like 7! means 7! = 7*6*5*4*3*2*1 = 5040

wait, is there one die or two dice here?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
one:)
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
so it's 1 (which signifies 100%) since the numbers 1 through 6 are not 10.
OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
There is only one ball that's #7, correct?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
i think so, or is it like one ball is selected at one time?
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
yes we're only selecting one ball
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
So there are 8 - 1 = 7 balls that aren't #7
