You are finding the probability where all are separated but we have to find where all are not together. This can be done: All possible - All vowels together
For together: 8! × 4/2!2!=40320
Subtract this from the total ways.
7C2 or 7C1 cannot be used as 2 or 3 E's are already chosen so remaing are 4 not 7.
When 2 are chosen, it will be 4C2 for remaining are 4C1 when all 3 E's are chosen.
What is the difference between separated and not together ?? no difference
noo they are choosing 4 letters from all and 2 are already there from the four ??
I am not convinced with what u said can u explain more ???
Thankss

NOT ALL next means there can also be 2 or 3 together, whereas you are finding where all are completely separated.
When 2 E's are chosen, 2 are already there. Now we have to choose rest of 2 from the 4 which are not E's
When 3 E's are chosen, only 1 has to be chosen from the rest of 4.

Could you please explain me why it is 8! x 4/2!2! instead of 8! x 4!/3!? Thank you!
