• there are 10 letters and we need to take 2 Os and 2 Ss together so all the letters become as 8.
  for 8 letters permutation is 8!
  and for 2 Os 2!

• given word SOOTHSAYER consists 2 s's and 2 o's and total letters are 10. The total possible ways for arrangement taken all the letters at a time is 10!/2!*2!=907200. let E be the event of forming 2 s's and o's get together. The number of favourable cases for event E is 6!/2!*2!=180. p(E)=180/907200=1.98412*10^-4
