A presidential candidate plans to begin her campaign by visiting the capitals in 4 of 42 states. What is the probability that she selects the route of four specific capitals? P(she selects the route of four specific capitals)equals nothing

P(she selects the route of four specific capitals) = 1 in 2,686,320 or 3.72 x 10⁻⁷

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming that the order at which she visits each of the four cities matters, the number of possible routes is the permutation of choosing 4 out of 42 capitals:

Therefore, the probability that she selects the route of four specific capitals is 1 in 2,686,320 or 3.72 x 10⁻⁷
