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.

The pressure applied on any object can be calculated by using the following equation.
lapo4ka [179]

The  pressure applied inside a container having an inner area of 16 square meters over which a force of 1,306 newtons is applied is 82Pa

<h3>What is pressure?</h3>

Pressure is defined as the ratio of the force to the cross sectional area of an object. Mathematically;

Pressure = Force/Area

Given the following parameters

Force = 1306 Newton

Area = 16 square. meters

Substitute the given parameters into the formula

Presssure = 1306N/16m²

Pressure = 81.625N/m²

<u>Convert N/m² to pascal</u>

Pressure = 82Pa

Hence the  pressure applied inside a container having an inner area of 16 square meters over which a force of 1,306 newtons is applied is 82Pa
