Answer:

2.0%

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability of two events happening in the sequence is calculated by multiplying the probability of each event happening separately by one another. Since there are a total of 7 letters in this word then the probability of choosing one letter correctly is [tex]\frac{1}{7}[/tex] . Since the first letter is replaced before choosing the second letter the probability remains the same. Therefore, the sequence would be the following...

[tex]\frac{1}{7} * \frac{1}{7}[/tex] = 0.020164 or 2.0%

This is an independent scenario because it does not depend on any external factors and under these circumstances the percentage will remain the same.
