Question

In the game of Keno, a player starts by selecting 20 numbers from the numbers 1 to 80. After the player makes his selections, 20 winning numbers are randomly selected from numbers 1 to 80. A win occurs if the player has correctly selected 3, 4, or 5 of the 20 winning numbers. (Round all answers to the nearest hundredth of a percent.) what is the percent chance of winning

Answer 1

The percentage of winning if 20 winning numbers are randomly selected from numbers 1 to 80 is 12.48%.

Given There are 80 numbers from which 20 numbers are selected randomly in a game of Keno by player and after selection of 20 winning numbers again 20 numbers are selected and player wins if the player has correctly selected 3,4,or 5 of the 20 winning numbers.

Probability is the chance of happening an event among all the events possible.

Probability of winning is calculated as under:

Probability=$C(20,3)C(60,17)/C(80,20)$

We have taken C(20,3) because player will win if 5 numbers are selected from 20 winning numbers.

We have taken C(60,17) because after selection of 20 numbers 60 numbers will left from 80 and after winning from 3 numbers 17  numbers left and from total 80, 20 numbers are taken.

=C(20,3)C(60,17)/C(80,20)

=(20!/3!17!  * 60!/17!43!)/80!/20!60!

=1140*387221678682300/35353161422121743200

=12.48%

Hence the probability of winning is 12.48%.
