MEDAL!! To win a lottery, a person must pick five numbers from 1 to 50 in any order AND a MEGA number from 1 to 30 on the play slip. Determine the probability for winning the jackpot. A. 0 B. 1/7,627,536,000 C. 1/63,562,800 D. 1/855,036,000
A right?
is this about ratios
lol it comes close to 0 yes
but it's probably not exactly 0 :)
i ment to say B lol. is that right
?
weird i get 1/9 billion or something
but that's not even an option
answer choices are these: A. 0 B. 1/7,627,536,000 C. 1/63,562,800 D. 1/855,036,000
oh wait, it's in any order
yea so would B, be my answer?
i'm not sure
it's like (5/50)*(4/49)*(3/48)*(2/47)*(1/46)*(1/30) right?
i think so
because at the first draw, you have a 5/50 chance of having a right number. then, a ball has been drawn, so there's only 49 balls left, but if you had the right number, there's also only 4 'lucky' numbers left. and so on
and than there's the 1/30 which has nothing to do with the other numbers
so that would be C
