Hello, I'm new to this forum, I'm not really sure if this is the correct board to post it on. But I've got a question, I believe regarding exponents and percentages.
The problem I've got is that I have a number of 250 different items, and I wanted to know what the odds of randomly selecting all 250 items in order were. The way I was calculating was by multiplying 250 to the power of 250 thinking that would list all the potential outcomes. But I'm not sure if that's correct and I get an enormous number that I can't even deal with.
Thanks in advanced!
