Suppose a child who is not able to read returns a five-volume set of books to a bookshelf.
Assume that
Note that the five-volume of books can be arranged by 5! Ways
So the number of the elements in sample spaces is
Since the books can be in kept in correct order by only 1 way
Therefore
Thus, the probability that books are shelved in correct order is
Hence probability that books are shelved in correct order is
