Question

You've purchased a lottery ticket and your numbers are 5-3-1. A lottery official randomly selects three balls from a set of eight balls that are numbered from #1 to #8. To win, your numbers must match the selected numbers in order. What is the probability if winning the lottery?

Answer 1

Answer:

1 out of 336 chance

Step-by-step explanation:

Since you picked three numbers, you are going to put three blanks.

What to do in this situation is to have _ _ _. Since there are numbers 1-8, what you want to do is take the three biggest numbers and multiply them together. in this case, they would be 8-7-6. Multiply that and you get 336.
