Answer:

(a) 9.9321*10^{-11}

(b) 6.0498*10^{-11}

(c) 7.7120^{-11}

(d) 1.6417 times more probable

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) The probability of winning a 6/49 lottery is given by:

P = \frac{1}{49*48*47*46*45*44} =9.9321*10^{-11}

(b) The probability of winning a 6/53 lottery is given by:

P = \frac{1}{53*52*51*50*49*48} =6.0498*10^{-11}

(c) The probability of winning a 6/51 lottery is given by:

P = \frac{1}{51*50*49*48*47*46} =7.7120^{-11}

(d) The ratio between the probabilities of winning the 6/49 lottery and winning the 6/53 lottery is:

r=\frac{9.9321*10^{-11}}{6.0498^{-11}}\\r=1.6417

It is 1.6417 times more probable.
