Suppose the monkey is typing using only the 26 letter keys. what is the probability that the monkey will type "cat" right off the bat?

First sample space: 26

Second sample space: 26 x 26 = 676

Third sample space: 26 x 26 x 26 = 17,576



In the sample space of 26, C will only appear once.



In the sample space of 676, C-A will only appear once.



In the sample space of 17,576 C-A-T will only appear once.



Chance of this scenario taking place:

1/17,576

That's a 1 in 17,576 chance.

the law of definite proportions states samples of a compound will always contain the same proportion of elements by mass. in other words, a given compound will always contain the same elements in the same proportions by mass.the law of multiple proportions states when two elements combine with each other to form more than one compound, then the weights of one element that combine with a fixed weight of the other are in a ratio of small whole numbers.
