An arithmetic expression is created by inserting either a plus sign or a multiplication sign in each of the 11 spaces between consecutive $\sqrt{3}$’s in a row of twelve $\sqrt{3}$’s. The signs are chosen uniformly and independently at random. What is the probability that the resulting expression evaluates to $12\sqrt{3}$?
