Question

what is the probability that 7 men who took their seats randomly at a round table are in alphabetical order?

Answer 1

not very likely
sit a man down somewhere, then the probability the man to his right is in order is \(\frac{1}{6}\) and to his right \(\frac{1}{5}\) and so on
multiply all together, then i guess maybe multiply by two since it doesn't say order from left to right

Answer 2

I'm going with zero. In a line, it might not be zero, but around a table? The last guy has to sit next to the first guy. Even if they are sorted correctly, what order is that? It's not alphabetical!
