I assume in this item, we are to find at which step is the mistake done for the calculation of the unknown probability. 

For the possible number of arrangement of letter, n(S), the basic principles of counting should be used.
                       = 10 x 9 x 8 x 7 x 6 = 30,240

This is similar as to what was done in Meghan's work.

For the five tiles to spell out FACED, there is only one (1) possibility.

Therefore, the probability should be equal to 1/30,240 instead of the 1/252 which was presented in the steps above.

There is a bag filled with 4 blue, 3 red and 5 green marbles.
Vsevolod [243]
<h2>The chances of receiving two greens are 5/31.</h2>

<em>Given a bag containing four blue, three red, and five green marbles, the total result is:</em>

<em>Total number of balls = 4 + 3 + 5 = 12</em>

<em>If green is chosen first, the chances of picking a green are 5/12.</em>

<em>The probability that the second stone is green is 4/11 if it is picked and not replaced (4 greens remaining)</em>

<em>The chance of earning two greens is 5/12 4/11.</em>

<em>The chance of getting two greens is 20/132.</em>

<em>The chance of earning two greens is 5/31.</em>

<h3><em>As a result, the chance of getting two greens is 5/31.</em></h3>
