Question 54366: 3 students, with different names,lineup single file. What is the probability that they are in alphabetical order from front-to-back? Answer by stanbon(48568) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! There are 3! = 6 ways for them to line up.
Only one of these ways has them in alphabetical order.
Prob ( they line up in alphabetical order ) = 1/6
