There are 11 letters in the given word containing four S, four I, two P and one M.
Therefore total number of words =11!4!4!2!

Hence when four S come together then they may start from first letter, from second letter, ....., from eighth letter. In each of such cases the remaining seven letters may occur in 7!4!2! ways.

Hence total number of arrangements in which four S come together =8×7!4!2!

 Required probability =8.7!4!2!11!4!4!2!=4165
