You have 6 different colored skirts. What is the probability that when you place them randomly in your closet, that you will order them from lightest to darkest?

Answer 1

There is only 1 way to arrange the skirts from lightest to darkest and 6x5x4x3x2x1 ways to arrange the six skirts so P(in order)=1/720 or about 13.8%
