If you know the names of the remaining nine students in the spelling bee, what is the probability of randomly selecting an order and getting the order that is used in the spelling bee?

1 / 362880

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 9 possible names that could be first.

After that, there are 8 possible names that could be second.

After that, there are 7 possible names that could be third.

So on and so forth.

So the number of permutations is:

9*8*7*6 * ... = 9! = 362880

The probability of randomly selecting the one order used in the spelling bee is therefore:

P = 1 / 362880
