Answer #1

The probability of winning this lottery with one​ ticket = Number of favorable events/ Total number of events

Since the order in which the balls are selected does not matter:

Number of favorable events = Number of permutations of winning set of 4 numbers and is given by:

Total number of events = Number of ways of selecting 4 numbers from 33 numbers and is given by:

So,

The probability of winning this lottery with one​ ticket = 24/40920 = 0.0005865

So,

Answer is:

0.0005865

1. Consider a 45-ball lottery game. In total there are 45 balls numbered 1 through to 45 inclusive. 4 balls are drawn (chosen randomly), one at a time, without replacement (so that a ball cannot be chosen more than once). To win the grand prize, a lottery player must have the same numbers selected as those that are drawn. Order of the numbers is not important so that if a lottery player has chosen the combination 1, 2, 3, 4...
