Question

In a certain lottery game, 34 numbers are randomly mixed and 7 are selected. A person must pick all 7 numbers to win. Order is not important. What is the probability of winning?

Answer 1

Answer:

p(win)=0.00094

Step-by-step explanation:

-This is a factorial/combination question.

-The probability is calculated using the formula:

$p=\frac{x!}{_nC_x}$

Where:

$x$ is the number of successful picks

$n$ is the total number of picks

Therefore, we calculate the probability as follows;

$Pp=\frac{x!}{_nC_x}\\\\=\frac{7!}{_{34}C_7}\\\\=0.00094$

Hence, the probability of winning is 0.00094
