To answer this question, we need to know how many different ways there are to arrange four capitals out of 44, and how many ways there are to arrange the four specific capitals.
The number of ways to arrange four capitals out of 44 is given by the formula:
{44!}/{(44-4)!} = 44 times 43 times 42 times 41 = 3,258,024
The number of ways to arrange the four specific capitals is given by the formula:
4! = 4 times 3 times 2 times 1 = 24
This is the number of ways to order the four specific capitals in the route.
The probability of selecting the route of four specific capitals is then given by the ratio of these two numbers:
{24}/{3,258,024} = {1}/{135751}
This is the answer in simplified fraction form. To convert it to decimal form, we can divide the numerator by the denominator:
{1}/{135751} approx 0.0000074$$
To convert it to percentage form, we can multiply the decimal by 100:
0.0000074 times 100 approx 0.00074%
Therefore, the probability that the candidate selects the route of four specific capitals is{1}{135751}or approximately **0.00074%**.
