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.

Sita saves Rs. 1 today, Rs. 2 the next day, Rs. 4 the succeeding day and so on (each saving being twice of the preceding one). W
Alenkinab [10]

Answer:

Rs. 32767

Step-by-step explanation:

Because the amount is doubling every day, we can use the expression 1*2^15-1 because there is 1 to start with. Also cool trick! if you need to do 2^1+2^2+2^3+....+2^x, it will be equal to 2^(x+1)-1. So:

2^15-1

32768-1
