Two friends, Bob and Ben, each buy one lottery ticket. Each ticket contains six numbers from a total of one hundred numbers (0–99). Bob chooses the numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and Ben chooses the numbers 39, 45, 66, 72, 74, 89. Who has a higher probability of winning?

what are your thoughts?

well they would both have equal chances on winning right? i mean due to the fact there is no way to tell which numbers will be chosen.

OpenStudy (amistre64):

correct,its the same as asking: if a flip a coin, you pick heads, i pick tails ... who has the better chance of winning the toss. the choices picked are equally likely.
