Was just wondering about this

[Florozmer]

This question isn't school related or anything, I'm just curious about a real life probability situation.

Floris has a shazam playlist. There are 30 numbers in this playlist. Floris starts the first song and puts the playlist on shuffle. What is the probability that the playlist will be shuffled in the exact order the playlist was originally set up? So song #2 follows after #1, song #3 after #2, etc.

Thanks

What have you tried? This is a help forum where we help students solve their problems. What we never do is solve a problem for a student.

The probability of any event is (the number of favorable outcomes)/(the total number of outcomes). Do you know either of these values?
