Probability
The probability of a certain event is a number expressing the likelihood that a specific event will occur, expressed as the ratio of the number of actual occurrences to the number of possible occurrences. In mathematics, it is a measure of how often an event will happen and is the basis of statistics.

What are the advantages of the Segway?
It offers increased mobility for those with disabilities, but could also aid some persons who are unable to walk long distances. The machine operates on a principle called dynamic stabilization.
How many ways can you arrange the letters of the word full?
To mathematically solve this:
Four letter word: n = 4
One F: L1 = 1
One U: L2 = 1
Two L's: L3 = 2
For the next step, you need to know what a factorial is. A factorial (n! - you'd say "n factorial") can be simply described as the product of that integer by all integers lower than it down to 1.
Example
5! = 5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1 (start with 5 and go all the way down to the optional 1)
We're going to be dividing the length factorial by each letter factorial:
n! / ( L1 x L2 x L3 )
4! / ( 1! 1! 2! ) = ( 4 x 3 x 2 x 1 ) / ( 1 x 1 x 2 x 1 ) = 4 x 3 = 12
With such a short word, it's easy enough to list the combinations. I'll do this so you can verify the answer. Breaking into cases always makes this easier.
Start with F:
FULL
FLUL
