Since 5 winning numbers are draw and there are exactly 2 winning numbers, the other 3 numbers chosen have to be incorrect.

The 2 numbers picked right, there are 5C2=10 different possibilities.

The other 3 numbers are just picked from the rest of the 32 numbers. Getting there are 32C3=4960 different possibilities.

For each set of 2 correct winning numbers, you could have the 4960 different losing numbers to match up to make a unique set. This meant that there are 4690*10=46900 different total possibilities.

Now the total different outcomes of how you can choose the numbers are 37C5=435897 outcomes.

Now the way to find probabilities is want/total

The want is 46900 and the total is 435897

Doing the division you get the number rounded to the nearest thousandths as   0.107 or in percent form as

10.759% chance of picking exactly 2 winning numbers.

This seems like a competition problem of some sort therefore I assume that you already know what combinations in form nCk and permutation in form nPk means.

There are 7 girls on a bus. each girl has 7 backpacks. each backpack has 7 big cats. each big cat has 7 little cats. how many le
Vera_Pavlovna [14]
7 girls on a bus, each has two legs. 7 * 2 = 14. 

Each girl has 7 backpacks. So 7 * 7 = 49. 

49 * 7 = 343 cats in total 

343 * 4 = 1,372 cat legs. 

343 * 7 = 2401 small cats 

2401 * 4 = 9,604 cat legs 

14 + 1,372 + 2,401, + 9,604 = 10,990 legs in total

What two numbers multiply to 20 and add up to 17
Shalnov [3]
That is not possible, since 20 has the factors of 1,2,4,5,10, and 20. None of those add up to 17, maybe your question has a mistake in it. For further questions, you can message me. Hope this helps! Please rate brainiest answer.
