Question 1179007: Hi! Please help me with this question! Thank you so much!
What are the odds of winning the power ball? Show all work for full credit. (Note: In power ball, there are 49 white balls in which 5 are chosen. Then one of 42 red balls is chosen.)
Answer by htmentor(1343) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
For the white balls we need to compute the number of combinations of
5 balls chosen from 49:
C(49,5) = 49!/(5!*44!) = 1906884
Then for the power ball there are 42 possible choices
Thus the total number of combinations is 1906884*42 = 80089128
So the odds of winning are 1 out of 80089128
