Answer:

0.00017% probability of winning this lottery with one​ ticket

Step-by-step explanation:

A probability is the number of desired outcomes divided by the number of total outcomes.

The order in which the balls are sorted is not important. So the combinations formula is used to solve this question.

Combinations formula:

C_{n,x} is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}

What is the probability of winning this lottery with one​ ticket?

Desired outcomes:

One set, so D = 1

Total outcomes:

Five numbers, from a set of 39. So

T = C_{39,5} = \frac{39!}{5!(39-5)!} = 575757

Probability:

p = \frac{D}{T} = \frac{1}{575757} = 0.0000017

0.00017% probability of winning this lottery with one​ ticket

Answer: 43.988

Step-by-step explanation: The formula for the circumference of a circle is the diameter multiplied by pi. Since the diameter is 14 and it is telling us to use 3.142 as pi, we can multiply the two and get the answer.

Answer:

slope is 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope = \frac{change  in  y }{change  in  x }

change in y = (13-7),  (19-13),  (25-19),  (31-25)

change in y = 6

Change in x = (4-2),  (6-4),  (8-6),  (10-8)

Change in x = 2

Therefore slope = \frac{6}{2}

Slope = 3
