The probability that the candidate will win is P = 0.357

<h3>How to find the probability?</h3>

We know that the odds against the particular candidate are 9 to 5.

The the odds for the candidate are 5 to 9, this means that in 5 cases the candidate will win, and in 9 cases the candidate will lose.

Then the candidate wins in 5 out of 14 cases, then the probability that the particular candidate wins the elections is given by the quotient:

P = 5/14 = 0.357

The probability that the candidate will win is P = 0.357

A person participates in a state lottery by selecting six numbers from 1 through 51. If the six numbers match the six drawn by t

Licemer1 [7]

There are

$\dbinom{51}6=\dfrac{51!}{6!(51-6)!}=18,009,460$

total ways to draw any 6 numbers from the range 1 to 51, regardless of order.

Given 6 selected numbers that match those drawn by the lottery, there are

$6!=720$

ways of rearranging them. So the probability of winning 1st prize is

$\dfrac{720}{18,009,460}=\dfrac{36}{900,473}\approx0.0000399790$

Next, given 6 selected numbers of which 5 match those drawn by the lottery, there are

$5!=120$

ways of rearranging those 5 matching numbers. There are 46 remaining numbers that didn't get drawn, so the probability of winning 2nd prize is

$\dfrac{46\cdot120}{18,009,460}=\dfrac{12}{39,151}\approx0.0003065$
