@satellite73 do you have the link?

anonymous · Answer

i am looking, but this one i think is easy to follow

anonymous · Answer

there are 6 numbers chosen and 15 possibilities for each, so by the counting principle there are $15^6$ equally likely outcomes

anonymous · Answer

you pick six, and assuming order does not matter there are $6!$ ways to arrange them

anonymous · Answer

so your probability of winning on any one ticket is 
$$\frac{6!}{15^6}$$ and if you do it fifty time i guess you have fifty time the chance of winning

anonymous · Answer

okay thanks!

anonymous · Answer

is that 6!/15^6
