The probability that the order will begin with A B is calculated by considering that there are 6! (6 factorial) possible arrangements of the six individuals. Since A and B are fixed in the first two positions, we only need to arrange the remaining four individuals, which can be done in 4! ways. Therefore, the probability is 4!/6! = 24/720 = 1/30 = 0.033.
