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.

Suppose you sequentially add 10 drops of water to a graduated cylinder and read the volume add 10 more drops read and so on. how
aleksandr82 [10.1K]
It depends on what is being referred to by "this."

The description of the activity is that 10 drops are added twice and two readings are taken. If you do *that* 4 times, then a total of 20*4 = 80 drops will have been added.

If the activity referred to by "this" is the pair of acts {add 10 drops, read the volume}, then four repetitions will have added 10*4 = 40 drops.

Probably the expected interpretation is that "this" is {add 10 drops, read}, so 40 drops is likely the expected answer.
