Answer: Hence, our required probability is
Step-by-step explanation:
Since we have given that
Numbers in a lottery = 60
Numbers to win the jackpot = 7 numbers
We need to find the probability to hit the jackpot:
So, our required probability is given by
This is a combination problem as we need to select 7 numbers irrespective of any arrangements.
Hence, our required probability is [tex]\dfrac{1}{386206920}[/tex
This is something you would do through trial and error. At least, that's the approach I took. I'm not sure if there is any algorithm to solve. The solution I got is shown in the attached image below. There are probably other solutions possible. The trick is to keep each number separate but not too far away so that the other numbers to be filled in later don't get too crowded to their neighbor.
Side note: any mirror copy of what I posted would work as well since you can flip the page around and it's effectively the same solution.
