Answer:

0.008

Step-by-step explanation:

A probability is the number of desired outcomes divided by the number of total outcomes.

Total outcomes:

He will visit 5 different cities. So the total number of ways this can happen is an arrangment of 5 elements, that is:

[tex]T = A_{5} = 5! = 120[/tex]

Desired outcome:

In alphabetical order, so only one possible outcome, which means that [tex]D = 1[/tex]

Probability:

[tex]p = \frac{D}{T} = \frac{1}{120} = 0.008[/tex
