Question

You want to randomly arrange 4 discs in a CD rack. What is the probability that the rack ends up in alphabetical order

Answer 1

The probability is 1/24

Explanation:

The total number of possible arrangements is;

4! = 4 * 3 * 2 * 1 = 24

Now, out of all these, there is only one possible correct alphabetical arrangement

so, to get this probability, we have to divide 1 by the total number of possible arrangements

we have this simply as 1/24
