Hw Score: 42.86%, 3 of 7 pts I,E Question Help * A presidential candidate plans to begin her campaign by visiting the capitals in 3 of 49 states. What is the probability that she selects the route of three specific capitals? Is it practical to list all of the different possible routes in order to select the one that is best? Pishe selects the route of three specific capitals) (Type an integer or a simplified fraction.)

Explanation / Answer

Let A be the required event.

We need to find P(A)

The first capital can be chosen with probability 1/49

The second capital can be chosen with probability 1/48

The 3rd capital can be chosen with probabiliy 1/47

Therefore, P(A)=1/49*1/48*1/47=1/110544

No it is not practical a good method to write all different possible to determne the best route because it will computationally take large time.We need some algorithm to do it.
