<PRE><B>Question 796319</B>
A teacher had four students line up for a project. If the teacher randomly selected the students, then what is the probability the students were lined up in alphabetical order (either ascending or descending)?
-----------------
# of ways to succeed:: 2
# of possible arrangements: 4! = 24
---
P(condition) = 2/24 = 1/12
