Question4.) Mary writes each letter of the state TEXAS on a separate card. She randomly picks 5 cards and places them on the table in the order she picks them. What is the probability she gets them in the right order to spell Texas correctly?

Studdy Solution
Calculate the probability of picking the cards in the correct order to spell "TEXAS". This is the ratio of successful outcomes to the total number of possible arrangements.
$$\text{Probability} = \frac{\text{Number of successful outcomes}}{\text{Total number of arrangements}} = \frac{1}{120}$$
The probability that Mary picks the cards in the correct order to spell "TEXAS" is:
$$\boxed{\frac{1}{120}}$$
