The probability that all five end up in alphabetical order is; 1/120.
What is the probability that the rack ends up in alphabetical order?
To evaluate the given probability; first, the number of possible arrangements is;
17P5 = 742,560 possible arrangements.
However, the chance of an alphabetical order arrangement in each case is; 1 out of 5! possible arrangements.
Hence, we have that the number of possible alphabetical arrangement is; (1/120) × 742,560 = 6188.
Hence, the required probability is; 6188/742,560 = 1/120
