The letters A,H,I,M,O,T,U,V,W,X and Y are all mirror images of themselfs. A string made of these letters will be a mirror image of themselves if it reads the same backward as forward. for example, MOM, YUMMY,MOTHTOM, if a four letter string in these letters is chosen at random, what is the probability that the string is a mirror image of itself?
