HELP DARNIT GAH

Sailor:

I believe you would arrange the letters T,K, and E into different combinations to show the order that they could be put in.

justnot:

so like TTT KKK EEE TTK TKK TKE TEK KET EKT KKE EEK KTE i don't know the answer help

Sailor:

Well judging by the problem there's only one of each so there wouldn't be two of the same stuffed animal.

justnot:

i just need a sample space aaaaaaaaaa

Sailor:

So maybe something like this?: TKE EKT ETK KTE KET TEK TKE

justnot:

yes but that is incorrect

Sailor:

Oh.

justnot:

IT IS DUE IN 15 minutes help D;

Sailor:

So maybe take off the first one? Or would the other 6 still be incorrect?

I think that works, unless it says it's incorrect.

i found this explanation: I made my sample space into an organized list. TKE, TEK, KTE, KET, ETK, EKT

justnot:

however, I have to show multiplication. How can I show that?

justnot:

hello?

justnot:

my answer: I made my sample space into an organized list. TKE, TEK, KTE, KET, ETK, EKT Alan only has one of each stuffed toy, so he can arrange the stuffed toys in 6 different ways.

Sailor:

I'm not sure how letters would show multiplication but i just know the first part
