Four "scrabble" blocks (i.e., little wooden blocks with a letter on each block) are face down on a table. The letters on the blocks are D, O, F, and O. The blocks are randomly arranged in a row, and then turned over to show the letters. Write a sample space showing all the possible arrangements of the letters. What is the probability that the letters will be arranged to spell FOOD?

The sample space is to write out the different options.
FOOD, FODO, FDOO, DOOF, DOFO, DFOO. ODFO, ODOF, OODF, OOFD, OFDOO, OFODO
with the sample space the probability of FOOD is 1 in 12 or 1/12
A check is to calculate it:
1/4 * 2/3 * 1/2 = 1/12
