Final answer:
The number of ways to rearrange the letters for the word 'Mississippi' is 34,650.
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve for the number of ways to rearrange the letters for the word "Mississippi", we need to use the concept of permutations. In this case, since there are repeated letters, we need to consider the arrangements as distinguishable.
The word "Mississippi" has 11 letters in total. Let's say we label each of the 11 positions with numbers from 1 to 11.
Now, to calculate the number of arrangements, we use the formula:
n! / (n1! * n2! * ... * nk!),
where n is the total number of objects (in this case, 11), and n1, n2, etc. are the frequencies of the repeated objects.
For the word "Mississippi", we have:
11! / (1! * 4! * 4! * 2!) = 34,650.
