I take this question as fill up the box question, since we don't have any values.
We have all together 11 words and out of which we have S - 4 times, I - 4 times , P - 2 times , M - 1 time
then we can take 11! / 4! * 4! * 2! => 36450.

In the word Mississippi there are 11 letters.
4 s's 4 i's 2 p's 1 m.
Number of arrangements = \(\frac{11!}{4!4!2!}= 34650\)
