Answer 1

The probability of winning a lottery by selecting the correct six integers, are

$\begin{aligned}&(a) 1.68 \times 10^{-6} \\&(b) 5.13 \times 10^{-7} \\& (c) 1.91 \times 10^{-7} \\&(d)8.15 \times 10^{-8}\end{aligned}$

What is binomial distribution?

The binomial distribution is a type of probability distribution that expresses the probability that, given a certain set of characteristics or assumptions, a value would take one of two distinct values.

Part (a); positive integers not exceeding 30.

To calculate the probability, use binomial coefficients. Pick six of the six accurate integers and none of the other twenty-four.

$\frac{\left(\begin{array}{c}6 \\6\end{array}\right)\left(\begin{array}{c}24 \\0\end{array}\right)}{\left(\begin{array}{c}30 \\6\end{array}\right)}=\frac{1}{\left(\begin{array}{c}30 \\6\end{array}\right)}=1.68 \times 10^{-6}$

Part (b); positive integers not exceeding 36.

To calculate the probability, use binomial coefficients. Pick six of the six accurate integers and none of the other thirty.

$\frac{\left(\begin{array}{l}6 \\6\end{array}\right)\left(\begin{array}{c}30 \\0\end{array}\right)}{\left(\begin{array}{c}36 \\6\end{array}\right)}=\frac{1}{\left(\begin{array}{c}36 \\6\end{array}\right)}=5.13 \times 10^{-7}$

Part (c); positive integers not exceeding 42.

To calculate the probability, use binomial coefficients. Pick six of the six accurate integers and none of the 36 other integers.

$\frac{\left(\begin{array}{l}6 \\6\end{array}\right)\left(\begin{array}{c}36 \\0\end{array}\right)}{\left(\begin{array}{c}42 \\6\end{array}\right)}=\frac{1}{\left(\begin{array}{c}42 \\6\end{array}\right)}=1.91 \times 10^{-7}$

Part (d); positive integers not exceeding 48.

To calculate the probability, use binomial coefficients. Choose six of the six accurate integers and none of the other 42.

$\frac{\left(\begin{array}{l}6 \\6\end{array}\right)\left(\begin{array}{c}42 \\0\end{array}\right)}{\left(\begin{array}{c}48 \\6\end{array}\right)}=\frac{1}{\left(\begin{array}{c}48 \\6\end{array}\right)}=8.15 \times 10^{-8}$
