A tourist in France wants to visit 7 different cities. If the route is randomly selected, what is the probability they will visit the cities in alphabetical order?

Respuesta :

Answer: The probability that they will visit the cities in alphabetical order is

[tex]\frac{1}{5040}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of different cities a tourist in France wants to visit = 7

According to question, if the route is randomly selected ,

Probability that they will visit the cities in alphabetical order is given by

[tex]\frac{1}{7!}\\\\=\frac{1}{7\times 6\times 5\times 4\times 3\times 2\times 1}\\\\=\frac{1}{5040}[/tex]

so, the probability that they will visit the cities in alphabetical order is

[tex]\frac{1}{5040}[/tex]
