The probability of matching three out of five numbers is 153/33649
<h3>How to determine the probability?</h3>
The numbers are given as:
1 to 23
There are five matching numbers
The probability of getting a match is:
p = 5-k/n where k = 0, 1, 2
While the complement probability is
q = (n - 2)/n
Using the above formulas, the probability of getting from 5 is:
P = 5/23 * 4/22 * 3/21 * 18/20 * 17/19
Evaluate the product
P = 153/33649
Hence, the probability of matching three out of five numbers is 153/33649
