Is the answer 0? There are five unmarked envelopes on a table, each with a letter for a different person. If the mail is randomly distributed to these five people, with each person getting one letter, what is the probability that exactly four people get the right letter?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Because if one envelope is given to the wrong person, wouldn't another person also have to get the wrong envelope?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

If someone can get 2 letters, then no If not, yeah, I believe 0 is right

OpenStudy (anonymous):

nevermind, I see, it should be 0

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Just making sure, I'll try 0....

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yup, it's right, thanks for confirming :P

OpenStudy (anonymous):
