    Sample space = {p, r, o, b, a, b, i, l, I, t, y} = 11 possible outcomes

    1sr event: drawing an I (there are 2 I); P (1st I) = 2/11

    2nd event drawing also an i: This is a conditional probability, since one I has already been selected the remaining number of I is now 1, but also the sample space from previously 11 outcome has now 10 outcomes (one letter selected and not replaced)

    2nd event : P (also one I) = 1/10

    P (selecting one I AND another I) is 2/11 x 1/10

    P (selecting one I AND another I) = 2/110 = 0.018
