After the typist writes 12 letters and addresses 12 envelopes, she inserts the letters randomly into the envelopes (1 letter per envelope). What is the probability that exactly 1 letter is inserted in an improper envelope?

• Zero.
  
  If one letter is in wrong envelope, one other letter must also be in wrong envelope. So zero is the probability that exactly 1 letter is inserted in an improper envelope.

  If exactly one letter is placed i the wrong envelope, the original letter for the envelope must also be misplaced. Hence, the event cannot occur. So, probability is zero
