Answer:

\frac{1}{165}

Explanation:

The probability that you choose letter M the first time is 1/11.

Then, given 1, the probability that you choose letter I the second time is 4/10

The probability that you choose letter S the third time is 4/9

The probability that you choose letter S the fourth time is 3/8.

So, the probability that you get the word MISS is :

\frac{1}{11}*\frac{4}{10}*\frac{4}{9}*\frac{3}{8} = \frac{1}{165}
