In a​ lottery, the top cash prize was ​$642 ​million, going to three lucky winners. Players pick five different numbers from 1 t

o 53 and one number from 1 to 46. A player wins a minimum award of $400 by correctly matching two numbers drawn from the white balls​ (1 through 53​) and matching the number on the gold ball​ (1 through 46​). What is the probability of winning the minimum​ award?

Answer:

\frac{10}{53 \times 46 \times 26}

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability of matching the number drawn on the gold ball is

\frac{1}{46}

The number of possible pairs of numbers from 1 to 53 is

\binom{53}{2}  =  \frac{53 \times 52}{2}  = 53 \times 26

Choosing 5 numbers, you are choosing 10 different pairs:

\binom{5}{2}  =  \frac{5 \times 4}{2}  = 10

Therefore the probability of correctly matching the drawn pair is

\frac{10}{53 \times 26}

Thus, the probability of winning (matching the pair AND the gold ball) is

\frac{10}{53 \times 46 \times 26}

Which of the following sets are subspaces of R3 ?
Ratling [72]

Answer:

The following are the solution to the given points:

Step-by-step explanation:

for point A:

\to A={(x,y,z)|3x+8y-5z=2} \\\\\to  for(x_1, y_1, z_1),(x_2, y_2, z_2) \varepsilon A\\\\ a(x_1, y_1, z_1)+b(x_2, y_2, z_2) = (ax_1+bx_2,ay_1+by_2,az_1+bz_2)

                                        =3(aX_l +bX_2) + 8(ay_1 + by_2) — 5(az_1+bz_2)\\\\=a(3X_l+8y_1- 5z_1)+b (3X_2+8y_2—5z_2)\\\\=2(a+b)

The set A is not part of the subspace R^3

for point B:

\to B={(x,y,z)|-4x-9y+7z=0}\\\\\to for(x_1,y_1,z_1),(x_2, y_2, z_2) \varepsilon  B \\\\\to a(x_1, y_1, z_1)+b(x_2, y_2, z_2) = (ax_1+bx_2,ay_1+by_2,az_1+bz_2)

                                             =-4(aX_l +bX_2) -9(ay_1 + by_2) +7(az_1+bz_2)\\\\=a(-4X_l-9y_1+7z_1)+b (-4X_2-9y_2+7z_2)\\\\=0

\to a(x_1,y_1,z_1)+b(x_2, y_2, z_2) \varepsilon  B

The set B is part of the subspace R^3

for point C: \to C={(x,y,z)|x

In this, the scalar multiplication can't behold

\to for (-2,-1,2) \varepsilon  C

\to -1(-2,-1,2)= (2,1,-1) ∉ C

this inequality is not hold

The set C is not a part of the subspace R^3

for point D:

\to D={(-4,y,z)|\ y,\ z \ arbitrary \ numbers)

The scalar multiplication s is not to hold

\to for (-4, 1,2)\varepsilon  D\\\\\to  -1(-4,1,2) = (4,-1,-2) ∉ D

this is an inequality, which is not hold

The set D is not part of the subspace R^3

For point E:

\to E= {(x,0,0)}|x \ is \ arbitrary) \\\\\to for (x_1,0 ,0) ,(x_{2},0 ,0) \varepsilon E \\\\\to  a(x_1,0,0) +b(x_{2},0,0)= (ax_1+bx_2,0,0)\\

The  x_1, x_2 is the arbitrary, in which ax_1+bx_2is arbitrary  

\to a(x_1,0,0)+b(x_2,0,0) \varepsilon  E

The set E is the part of the subspace R^3

For point F:

\to F= {(-2x,-3x,-8x)}|x \ is \ arbitrary) \\\\\to for (-2x_1,-3x_1,-8x_1),(-2x_2,-3x_2,-8x_2)\varepsilon  F \\\\\to  a(-2x_1,-3x_1,-8x_1) +b(-2x_1,-3x_1,-8x_1)= (-2(ax_1+bx_2),-3(ax_1+bx_2),-8(ax_1+bx_2))

The x_1, x_2 arbitrary so, they have ax_1+bx_2 as the arbitrary \to a(-2x_1,-3x_1,-8x_1)+b(-2x_2,-3x_2,-8x_2) \varepsilon F

The set F is the subspace of R^3
