in a draw of 40 numbers(1-40),what is the probability of finding six lucky numbers plse.
Ans::
# of sets of 6 numbers:: 40C6 = 3838380
# of lucky sets:: 1
------------------
P(find the lucky set) = 1/3838380
--------------------------------------------
and if you are selected 16 numbers from for the same draw of six lucky numbers
how much combination will i have from choosing 6 nos and 16 nos
Ans; 1/(16C6) = 1/8008 = 0.000249..
