There's a 1 in 10 chance of placing any one random letter into the correct envelope, but one seems an overly simple answer.
I did some very convoluted, and almost certainly wildly incorrect, maths based on a *very* vague (mis)recollection of the impact of repeated events on overall probabilities and was left with an average (mean) of 1.2. The mode was 1. And I'm too tired to work out the median!
Pretty confused by this one, even though it should be one of the most straightforward for anyone more mathematically competent!
