This is a sampling problem where the entire population is selected and there is no replacement. The chance of selecting all cities in alphabetical order is: (1/10)*(1/9)*(1/8)*(1/7)*(1/6)*(1/5)*(1/4)*(1/3)*(1/2) of 1/(10!) = 2.75 e-7. If we consider alphabetical order can be highest to lowest or lowest to highest, then the probability doubles or: 2/(10!)

What is non-probability sampling?
Non probability sampling is where the samples are not selected randomly.

What is the probability that one randomly-selected person in America will know another randomly-selected person in America?
There is not enough information about the the distribution of the number of people known by each individual - nor the averages. It is therefore no possible to give an answer any more precise than "the probability will be infinitesimally small".

What is the probability that 4 randomly selected people all have different birthdays?
Let us assume that there are exactly 365 days in a year and that birthdays are uniformly randomly distributed across those days. First, what is the probability that 2 randomly selected people have different birthdays? The second person's birthday can be any day except the first person's, so the probability is 364/365. What is the probability that 3 people will all have different birthdays? We already know that there is a 364/365 chance that the first two will have different birthdays. The third person must have a birthday that is different from the first two: the probability of this happening is 363/365. We need to multiply the probabilities since the events are independent; the answer for 3 people is thus 364/365 × 363/365. You should now be able to solve it for 4 people.
