Answer: Odds in favor = Number of successes: Number of failures
Step-by-step explanation:
Example
A jewelry box contains 5 white pearl, 2 gold rings and 6 silver rings. What are the odds of drawing a white pearl from the jewelry box?

Answer:
probability of picking the winning combination
Step-by-step explanation:
A probability is the number of desired outcomes divided by the number of total outcomes.
Since the order is not important, the combinations formula is used to solve this question.
Combinations formula:
is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.
Desired outcomes:
The correct five numbers from a set of 5. So
Total outcomes:
Five numbers from a set of 35. So
Probability:
probability of picking the winning combination
