In how many ways can the letters P R O B A B I L I T I E S be arranged (a) without any other restrictions? (b) such that the E and the A appear next to each other? (c) such that the E and the A does not appear next to each other?

OpenStudy (joannablackwelder):

I think the answer to a is \[\frac{ 13! }{ 2! 3!}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

(a) is correct

OpenStudy (joannablackwelder):

:)

OpenStudy (joannablackwelder):

For b I get \[\frac{ 12! }{ 2!3! }\times2!\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yep, (b) is also right

OpenStudy (joannablackwelder):

Yay, thanks!

OpenStudy (joannablackwelder):

And for c, I did the answer for a - the answer for b.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Sounds reasonable. Good work!

OpenStudy (joannablackwelder):

Alright! Thanks so much!
