probability visit denver before san francisco
Hi everyone
I'm stuck with this question of probability theory. the first part is alright, the second part - i know the answer but can't seem to use the formulas to show it
"A businesswoman in philadelphia is preparing an itinerary for a visit to six major cities. the distance traveled, and hence the cost of the trip, will depend on the order in which she plans her route.
a. how many different itineraries (and trip costs) are possible?
b. if the businesswoman randomly selects on of the possible itineraries and denver and san francisco are two of the cities that she plans to visit, what is the probability that she will visit denver before san francisco:?:
any help/ suggestions would be much apreciated
