A student of poetry is experimenting with the cut-up technique, using a print copy of a 56-word poem that is cut with scissors into 56 pieces, each containing exactly one word of the poem. A new text of 56 words is then constructed using the words on the pieces in the order in which they are randomly drawn from a box. Of the 56 words of the original poem, exactly 14 are nouns and exactly 11 are verbs.
Select for Noun first the probability that the first word of the new text is one of the 14 nouns. And select for Noun first and verb second the probability that the first word of the new text is one of the 14 nouns and the second word of the new text is one of the 11 verbs. Make only two selections, one in each column.

This is a fairly easy probability question.
The probability that the first word is a noun is nouns/total = 14/56 = 1/4.
And the probability that the first word is a noun and the second word is a verb is 14/56 * 11/55 = 1/20.
